    Default Parasite Infestation?

    I just got a microscope as a gift and I decided to take some fresh fecal samples that were taken right from one of my discus, he has lost alot of weight even though he eats like a pig. I took some pictures with a microscope camera. I'm not sure if the pictures are abnormal amounts of parasites, they look like Camillanus to me but I thought it best to get some other opinions.
    I increased feeding from 2 times a day to 3 of FD Blackworms hoping he would gain weight but he did not.Parasite infestation.jpgParasite infestation2.jpgParasite infestation3.jpgParasite infestation4.jpg

    Well since nobody replyed I went ahead and dewormed with Levamisole HCL. Seems he is gaining a little bit of weight so far, a little to soon to tell though.
