While looking through some old water that I was going to toss I found an amoeba chowing down on a rather long filamentous algae, likely one of the cyanobacteria. Although a valiant effort was made to down (surround) the hapless meal, common sense finally prevailed and the meal was ejected...no worse the wear. I took a few photos that capture the attempted ingestion.

I also found another couple of amoeba in the water drop.
And another...
And this neat looking diatom (I think)
Cool
