I just came from my discus breeders house and spoke to him about what these things are in my tank. He agrees they are copepods. There are many different types of copepods but they are all harmless at controlled levels and will hitch a ride on fish, especially on slow moving fish like discus.
He also informed me that everone has them in there tank. you might not have many or may never notice them but they are there.

That was just a little info for anyone with a similar problem that may be searching for this information.

Thanks for your opinions everybody.
