Live Tubiflex worms are never a good idea for discus. I'd be very careful with Black worms also. I know of a few Breeders that have lose huge amount of fish to a parasite they picked up feeding live black worms. I'd stick with frozen Haraki Blood Worms, Mysis Shrimp and a very high quality sinking pellet food. Discus need much better water quality then most of "normal" aquarium fish.... Be ready to do 2 or 3 large water changes a week or even better daily smaller water changes. When I was raising Discus fry I did 3 95% water changes a day on the fry tanks, but that was because I was feeding very heavy to get the fry to sellable size in a few months. Good luck with your Discus. They are a great fish, but need special care.
