Hey SD community!

I am new to discus and this forum. Been eyeing discus for quiet sometime now. I've always kept African cichlids and flower horns. I have some of my discus pictures down below but I was wondering if copepods are harmful to have in my discus tank. Please let me know thank you!

Copepods are not harmful in small numbers,a smaller number of copepods means a cleaner tank.Adding a small school of cardinal tetras will get rid of them. Before adding the tetras make sure they are quarantined for at least six weeks.
