I have two discus in my tank just did a brandnew hual to the tank (gravel plants water) i tested all the lvls and they all checkex out. After
One week of the two fish being in the tank i notice one picking on the other one. After another week i notice the one that was being picked on is now hiding motionless untell i grab him he hasnt eatin anything in a few
Days. He looks skinny but inactive. Help?!
 
The problem is you have only two discus. This is absolutely inadvisable as either of them is likely to bully the other constantly. You need to start with 4-5 minimum to curb the aggression. In your case, isolate either of them.
 
What size tank is it and what size discus as well. I agree you probably need more if space warrants.
