That temp is kinda high for all the other fish in there. White cottony stuff was probably fungus.

Hey, your getting slot of views on your journal. I wish it was the same for the 37 gal journal...
The white stuff is probably fungus. If you have a descent microscope and th discus carcasses, look at them in it and you might see wats plagueing them.
And it'd be fun.

Youshould have a little nitrate and no nitrite. Everybody miixes that up sometimes.

ammo
nitrites
nitrates
but he puts it as

You should be having any amount of nitrate(1-25 IME), and never any nitrite in an established tank
And for the plan on selling the discus, I will see if anybody wants to offer on them still, but the whole point is gone as it was a group
Those remaining, sickly discus need some clove oil ASAP...please don't even consider selling them. People can ruin your reputation on the internet in a heartbeat. Even if you were to find someone foolish enough to pay money for those fish, when they die also, suddenly and unexpectedly, you will be hearing from them, believe me.
Take my advice, euthanize those remaining horrible looking stunted discus, and raise that one discus (assuming it is healthy) into a sellable size, then get out of keeping discus until you are able to care for them properly in their own special setup.

It is, all you do is prepare a basin of water adequate enough for the fish to lay flat in (but otherwise, use as little water as possible, otherwise you will need to keep dosing and dosing). Put the fish in the water. Keep adding drops until the fish appears to be asleep, it will be barely breathing. Let it sit for a while and in a few minutes, put it in a bag and put the bag in the freezer. I usually bump it up to the highest setting (number 9 on my freezer) a few hours beforehand before I do it, if I am expecting it...if it is a smaller fish, I don't bother and I just put the bag in the ice depository. I have an ice maker, but not on the door (it's not a side by side)...the ice is made inside the freezer, above the fridge.
