How big are your discus and how long have they been in your tank? It can take a couple of days for them to get over themselves and settle in.
They will feel more comfortable once the whole group is in there, they like company even though they are not nice to each other. A good old fashion temp boost is pretty good for getting them feeding well, 31 degrees celcius was enough to get one of my stubborn ones feeding. Once they are going, they are not timid. In fact they are some of the greediest fish that I have kept. They are particular fond of dried blood worms, but will take on almost anything that goes in the tank.
Id suggest much more frequent water changes while the fish are settling in, perhaps 30% every day or every other day.
I can hand feed my discus, they are not shy about biting fingers and tugging at arm hairs.
