You have given very little information. How big is the tank, how long has it been running, are you quarantining first or have you put these new discus into an established tank with other fish. What are your water parameters etc. None one can answer your questions unless you give us these details.

You will eventually pay a terrible price for not quarantining new fish before putting them into a tank that is already populated. You may simply been lucky this time but you are risking killing everything you have by not following quarantine.
