today i purchased 2 more discus fish 1 snow white and a blue diamond

but ive noticed that all my other discus have beautiful orange,white eyes except my blue diamond one,

i have done some research and according to some websites if it has black eyes it is sick?

but the fish eats very well, as a matter of fact he eats the most out of all the other 4

Some discus have red eyes, some have amber eyes, some have dark eyes. Doesn't mean they are sick, it's just genetics. Only cloudy eyes would indicate they might be ill.
 
The fish in the picture is stunted, under severe stress, and hasn't eaten very much in weeks. It looks like it may have been subjected to ammonia or nitrite from the marks that are on the body.
