On October 1st he started to tailstanding on the bottom of aquarium, stopped swimming, so i stoped Flagyl thinking he was intoxicated.

    I would stop giving it any more medication for the time being. The temperature alone of 33c kills many protozoans including hexamita. Fish poop white when they're stressed too, it's not a sure indication of parasites.

    Your pH of 5.5 is unusual, I've never seen anyone keep discus at that pH. Is that the same as your main tank? I'd try and make sure that pH is correct, most fish will melt at that pH.

    You mentioned the use of Epsom salts. That's a laxative used to cure bloat. Do a water change, and then use regular aquarium salt (NOT table salt, just pure NaCl).

    Also, provide places for your fish to hide on. Let it be hidden for as long as it wants. Keep movement around the tank to a minimum.
