After an on and off battle with capilliaria, my pigeon blood if finally showing improvement after a treatment of levamisole. His poop has returned to brown and he is eating a few bloodworms, eating more everyday.

What is worrying me is that the pigeon blood was with a blue diamond two months back, while it was infected. I removed the pigeon blood 5 weeks ago (hospital tank) and 3 weeks ago i added 4 juveniles to the main tank to keep the blue company. Right now the juveniles show no signs of illness, but the blue which is 3.5 inches long doesn't seem to get a bulging stomach like the juveniles do after eating. (though he does eat some food.) Should i treat all 5 discus in my main tank as a precaution?

I would, you have no way of knowing unless you scope the feces. Levamisole is not that harsh on discus. Clean them out and your mind will be at ease.
