Welcome to SD Abhijit. Where are you located? I would suggest read the stickies in the beginner section to start off.
To summarize, discus need clean and consistent water to grow. Most of the people keep a bare bottom tank so cleaning is easier. Discus more comfortable in numbers. So I suggest get atleast 6 in atleast a 55 gallon tank. Other things you can read in the stickies. Good Luck.

Where did you get your fish? It could have been a sick fish to begin with.
