Hi Luis,

thanks for sharing this excellent footage which documents a lot of interesting details (including excellent preparation of the trophi!) of a VERY rare rotifer. Congratulations!!! In one of the most respected references for European Rotifers (>>  by Koste 1978) there still were doubts if  this rotifer  even exists!

Thanks, Michael!
Indeed, Koste doesn't describe this rotifer, but fortunately we have Plingfactory, which does. Thanks for that fantastic website!
Thanks also for the recent information on how you prepare and macerate your rotifers. I'm preparing a video about the maceration process for this rotifer.
