    Default Whitish Worm Like

    One of my juvies has this whitish worm-like parasite hanging on the side of it's head. I removed it yesterday by rubbing it but I noticed it again this morning. I have not tried any treatment yet as it does not affect the discus appetite. It is eating well and playing. I have this discus with the other 24 juvies in a 55 gallon grow out tank. I do 90 percent water change everyday. I feed them FDBW and NLS.
    Any idea what is this parasite and treatment recommended is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I killed them too.

    Thank you Barb. The worm disappeared today but I will try to get a picture if it reappears again.
    I am growing them out in this 55-gallon and will move them later in my bigger tanks.
