Lynx, I can not tell what you are doing...between shot gunning meds and removing your bio-media. Can you please write down a detailed history of the last month. Please include use of meds, how you prepare your water and do water changes. What are your water parameters? Are your tanks cycled? and any other details. This will slow you down and have you think about what is happening with the fish and it may help us to help you.

Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
Is that the tank you added the nitrofurazone and furazolidone too? Maybe the fish simply needs clean water without meds.

The fish is dead.
I am sorry but I am too devastated to write the whole story here right now.
Sorry you lost them. :-(
One little bit of advice, never leave a fish with no filtration pump or air stone running.
You need something to agitate the water surface and replace the oxygen that the fish are breathing.
I don't know if you had something running out of frame of the video but I couldn't see anything.
The last video close up showed the fish breathing heavily as if the oxygen level was low.
Let's restart fresh when you are ready.
1. Nuke every thing with bleach / or even buy new equipment (cheaper items, like sponge, air stone etc.) to prevent re-contamination.
2. Ensure you can provide clean water with proper parameter. (search for those figures in this site)
3. Purchase your fish from reputable source.
4. Calm down, do things slowly step by step.
5. When you need help, chime in here, provide necessary info. We are less useful than 911 if you call and scream.
Water change is not just a chore, it's my life now...
air stone in this tank? look like you dont have
