thanks guys for the positive comments..

today, when i woke up and watch the fish.. i saw a little tiny white-needle-like, stick on the sides of the aquarium.. and i think they are moving..

i can't tell if it's tape worm because it's not attach on the fish, it's just in the sides of the aquarium and tapeworm is bigger and longer.. should i be alarmed? how did it happened? i did a water change everyday, they are indeed moving.. man, this is a new experience to me..

Hey Marvin, those guys look great. Their sizes look pretty close too. Doing a great job.
Those little worms are very common in tanks and will do no harm. They can develop even with the water changes unless you wipe the sides and bottom of the tank before a water change. Wiping all surfaces,then water change will flush out most of the stuff that grows in a tank (safe and bad) because of the heavy feeding we do.
Take care, :)

Hey your discus look great, and growing out great. The thing you saw on the glass sounds like Planaria worms they won't hurt your discus, I think they are very common when you are doing heavy feedings. I have seen them in my tank when I have not cleaned the filter in a while or don't clean the inside glass on a regular basis. They look like a white hair almost can see them swimming around in the water also. Larry

Marvin, lovely vid mat. Fish look like pirahnas on the look out. I wouldn't worry too much from the Planaria as others have already stated. Wiping down the sides/bottom will clear things up & should be done regularly as the Planaria culture will grow wild just like your fishiesss! :D

Looks like your fish have pretty even growth. They all look great. As stated don't worry too much about the planaria, just keep wiping down all suraces in the tank before wc.
