Yes, there are a lot of possible reasons and variables. From a broad, 30,000 foot view, discus are sometimes prone to internal parasites from whats been told to me over the years. I may be wrong, but this is what i understand.
its a 55 gal with two discus. i dont have any pics. oh ya there are 10 neon tetras, a royal pleco and three small clown loaches. the pleco is two inches. I had them all for 7 months. sorry I couldnt put in the extra info had no time. I had the loaches origanally to deal with a snail problem. water parameters: 1' 7'' tall, 3' 10'' long 1' wide
When i kept discus, i kept them by themselves in a bare bottom tank, and did 50 per cent water changes daily, with the temps around 84, IF i remember correctly. Not saying your setup is the reason, just pointing out how many precautions I took. It was so much work, I gave up after a year or so.
I would guess an internal parasite cuz the other discus is doing just fine. but he started very recently like 4 to 5 days ago.
I can be very frustrating, i know. i've been there. unfortunatley i've rarely solved the problem.
