Hi all,

I'm hoping I can get some help identifying what is going on with my discus. Started out as stringy white poo, leading to lack of appetite. This would go on for a bit and then they would get better. With the exception of one fish who is pretty emaciated. Ive tried multiple medications recommended by LFS...PraziPro, API General Cure, Formalin/Malachite Green blend, Flubendazole(wormer plus), and cupramine. I have a new job and the opportunity to use their microscope. Ive attached a few pictures. There are 7 discus in a 72 gallon, I change the water 2x a week, age it, temp is 82, water parameters are all good. There are other tank mates...3 longfin albino plecos, 10 cardinal tetras, 4 cory cats, 6 rasboras, and 7 rummy nose tetras. Thank you so much for any advice on meds.

The two polar caps are quite typical of Capillaria worm eggs.
