First thing the para's 0 on Nitrates, 0 Nitrites, 0 Ammonia, 6.4 Ph. 55 gallon tank, 6 discus, change water twice a week. Live plants. Cascade 1000 water filter. 1 Pleco's. I treated this discus and his/her mate several months ago for gill flukes and was successful. They are in the 55 gallon tank now. The other one is doing fine. I am not if it is stress he hides often, his color is fine, his skin looks ok including fins. Any ideas.

I would say try live black worms. I had a discus not eat for 3 days and I used a turkey baster to pump live black worms right in his face. Lets say he couldnt resist. So try some live food, possibly just being a finicky eater.

Garlic-ing foods can stimulate appetite.
