Discus fry at bottom

As posted in my following thread,

I am having problems with my discus frys on the bottom of the tank.they dont show any darting/gasping symptoms or imbalance while swimming ...I change water every morning (around 50%) with Seachem prime.

I feel this has started after i began feeding BBS...maybe they got overfed? or something do with them feeding on left-overs from papas and mamas Frozen Brine shrimp?

Please let me know if anyone has come across this?

BBS can foul the water very badly. Increase the water changes, or the amount. Clean the filter in old tank water prior to filling the tank. Wipe all sides/surfaces of the tank prior to draining.

I do TWO 80% wc's daily with aged, heated water that is the same ph and temp as the tank water. I also wipe down the inside of the tank, heater, cords, etc daily.
