Super Confused. Help.

Okay...so..im all out of ideas..
My discus are somewhat lathargic and a couple of them are dark. Ive changed the water, treated for gill flukes because they had several of the symptoms..treated for ammonia incase the new water had it, fortunately it didnt, b ut I treated for ammonia anyway..the Ph. is fine, hasnt fluctuated any, and the temp is around 86. Im all out of ideas as of what it could be, but its affecting new ones i recieved the most, as well as an older one ive had

Not sure why you would treat for ammonia, just test to see if there is any....

You mention new fish, did you qt these? I'm guessing not.

You say the ph is fine and there is wasn't any ammonia. Can you test the water for ph, ammonia and nitrite (NO2) and post the results please?

Guesswork would say an external parasite, how do their fins look? Are the clamped at all? Do they breath with a steady regular rhythm (around 60 or so gill beats a minute)? How do their eyes look? Any milky looking patches on the skin?

Are they eating? Are they adults or juvies? What/ how often are you feeding?

I'd follow suit with Paul. What are your readings for ammonia, nitrite and PH?
