Hi. I have a sick adult female discus with clear poop. Can someone identify the parasites in the following video? I used the microscope for the first time so the video may not look the best (took with a cell phone). I am using 100x magnification by the way.

There are at least 2 different parasites. Is the long one the capillaria? It is hard to see in the video, but they have black hairs (like legs) throughout their whole body.
There are a few flea like smaller oval shaped ones. Anyone know what they are?
And then there are a few very small oval/round ones that moves very fast, but they could be the baby "fleas"?
Would like to identify a proper treatment for her. She had about 50 fry around 6 weeks ago. The babies were moved to a separate tank about 3 weeks ago.
Thanks in advance.
