Help identify parasites
Hi,
Attaching links to microscope video clips here on a fish that unfortunately I died (I couldn't handle in time)
In the first video I was able to see one gillworm

In the next video I couldn't figure out what it was?

Re: Help identify parasites
The last one I don't know, In the first one I'm pretty sure I saw a hex parasite. In the third I may have seen a capllaria. I'm not great with the scope I'm afraid.
But what you really need to do is show us a pic of your living fish and take it from there. Samples from a dead fish aren't of much use.

I'll come up with a picture, about the dead fish I believe in trying to figure out why he died ...

We might a clue if we could see a pic of the tank they're in. Knowing your water change regimen is also way helpful.

Why I agree that dead fish are a bad indicator of what microorganism is affecting your fish if any, from your 3rd video, that looks exactly like what I found in my living angel's white poop showed. I was told that it was capillaria.
If you have more discus in that tank, get a fecal sample and show us what you find underneath please
