one of my discus does not do anything. when i feed all others will eat and this one just stays in the corner. his head is kind of tilted down all the time... seems like he is depressed. whats wrong with this guy?

another discus will go to the feeding spot and just stay on the bottom and scavenge what the rest dont eat. whats wrong with him too?
 
from what i have seen.... no one seems to be messing with the discus. the odd behaving ones just seem to keep to themselves. one is always hanging out by the heater and the other just likes to hang out on the bottom
 
more then likely being picked on. the one that hangs on the bottom is more then likely to docile of a feeder to get in their and get the good stuff. for the one in the corner, i would watch him closely for a few days as much as you can. if you have lunar lighting then see what happens at night. somethimes with discus they will notice you in the room and do nothing but beg for food, i think!! neways good luck and just watch them before you do anything else. if hes getting picked on then either seperate him or sell him!! good luck
 
What does your sick discus fecis look like? The behaviors you described I have seen in discus with internal parasites.
 
check the gills for some small white spots. discus are bad for gill flukes. some early symptoms are loss of appettite and deppression lol. no joke though he may have some kind of internal parasite and may need to be moved to a med tank. id watch him close for a couple days. you dont want the rest of your fish gettin sick also
