Once you look closer into your portable aquarium Eco-system, you will notice that there is much more happening in there than just your fish. Thousands of different kinds or microscopic life forms will develop inside an aquarium system. Have a peek.
One of the largest protozoa, Stentor, is a unicellular, trumpet like, protoplazmatic-microorganism. It feeds on bacterias and smaller protozoas like Rotifers and Water-fleas. It can grow to about 2mm.

Ciliates are unicellular protists that use hairlike cilia for feeding and moving. The largest Ciliates can reach 0.3mm like the one in this photo above. They feed on bacteria. Larger microscopic life-form, shrimps and snails will devour Ciliates.
