I just got my first 6 Discus about 3 weeks ago and they are around 3 to 4 inches however one of them keeps shaking and vibrating it's whole body then going over and cleaning the heater...I am not sure of what it is doing.I thought they were to small to start courting...maybe I am wrong what do you think? :shocked2:

i would guess some parasite on the skin making it itch.

There is possibility that the fish (probably a female) is cleaning the heater to spawn.

Maybe they are of age to spawn, just small fish. Do you know how old they are? Are they doing any 'bowing' to each other, fluttering those tails?

sounds like she's cleaning the heater to spawn all right :)

Do you see a small white tube hanging from the vent?
