Help me get my discus to eat!

This Thread got a little off track and too personal...I've editted accordingly.

JD, while trying to help slap with the issue behind the scenes, taking it there takes away from other members that are here to learn from these experiences.
Just thought I'd make note of it, that it doesn't really help us that might have these problems arise if this thread dies.

I made my own deworming food tonight using the guide in "the medicine cabinet". I made an 8 oz food mix of beef heart, tetra bits, and garlic. Mixed in 20 grams of panacur, and about 1.5 packets of gelatin. Left it in the fridge for an hour, gelled up quite nicely. Cut up 4 little cubes, the Discus were VERY interested, but didn't eat a whole lot of it. If they take to it, I may start making my own food mixes all together. Once the gelatin sets, this stuff is awesome.
