Newbie Discus helps

[MKD]

Hello all,

I am new and purchased 12 discus between 2.5 - 4 inches about a month ago in 100G tank with reaction 45 filter, 86F, driftwood, thin white very very mint gravel (i know bare bottom is good to beginner, that's why i put only a thin layer). I have fed them blackworms and changed 50% water 2x a week with seachem stability and stress zync. they were fine at the begining, but about a week there is blue diamond turn color darker and not eating when i am feeding. it comes out school with others when no feeding. i have not seen it poop or eating, but its tummy looks full. does anyone have any ideas???


PS: i feed them 2x a day because of my work. is there anything that it can help me to feed them during a day? my discus don't eat flakes (spoiled)

Thank you,
MadDiscus
