white worm on the discus tank

[low]

Hi,

I am new in keeping discus.

need some advice, my discus tank have alot of tiny tiny white worm moving on the side glass and botton of the tank. I had try to change water yet it will appear again very soon.

Is there any way to kil all the white worm

The white worms are planaria and are a symptom of overfeeding. You will find a bunch inside your filter too. Rinse out your filter, wipe out the inside, wipe down the inside of the glass daily. Cut back on food. do daily water changes. The worms will slowly disappear. they do not harm the discus

ohhhhhh wow. Thanks Carol the savior! I have had those in all my tanks forever. I thought it was some sort of parasite from when i used to feed freeze dried tubifex worms. So i threw them all out and i never could seem to get it cleaned up. Oops all that good food to waste..... ;)
