I took delivery of 12-2 inch Pearl Pigeon Discus on November 9th 2017. Most are growing as normal but I have two that don't appear to be growing at all and I have never seen them eating.

They are both stunted and sick. They are stunted because they have been sick and not eating. They are probably not going to make it and need to be culled.
However, if you really want to try and treat them, you need to get them out of that tank and into a hospital tank for treatment.

Yes I have put them into a BB 35 with a sponge filter, treated with prazi and cranked up the heat. Initially they were all in quarantine and treated for all the usual bugs, but these two just never came around. :(

That's why it's probably time to cull them.
