We are after some advice with some of our new Discus. While they appear to be healthy (and are laying eggs as I type this message), we have noticed HEAPS of tiny white wormy things floating/swimming in the water and crawling on the side of the glass. They are about as thin as a hair, and under 1cm in length. We have actually seem them before in Discus tanks in pet shops, but when we asked them about it they didn't seem very concerned, didn't seem to know what it was or how to treat it. I have done a little search on the net and suspect they could be from the nematode family (could be totally wrong of course...we are newbie's afterall)...but would like some more information on what they could be, if they could harm the fish, and what we can do to get rid of them. Any advice would be much appreciated. As I said, they fish appear happy and healthy...but we don't like the look of them...
Many thanks in advance.
