Default Planaria and hydra and mites, oh my!
Got a cool little microscope (Digital Blue: QX5™ Computer Microscope Product Info) a while back and just wanted to share some of the critters I've been finding in my aquarium:

http://oz.cx/movies/mite-xvid.avi

I found the planaria eggs when I uprooted a large sword and couldn't figure out what they were- they're quite hard, unlike fish eggs. Then the planaria (planarium?) showed up. It was all bunched up at first and I was thinking it might be a leech... until it stretched out and the eye spots gave it away.
