Help! Discus trouble!

[DaGreenMonster]

Hey guys my discus started acting strange. They have stopped swimming as much as they normally do. They are grouping up in the corners of the tank and some of them lay in between rocks for a while. They have eaten a few flakes since this has started. I have 1 clown loach (2.5in) 2 plecos 2 cory cats that all seem to be doing fine. Mo signs of ich or anything like that. I did have 2 pearlscale gold fish in their but i found out that that wasnt a good idea and i took them out. I also did a 30% water change.

Whats going on??

Can't even guess without any information about tank size, water parameters, size of fish in question, time of last water change etc.

How long have you had them? Were the tankmates already in your tank or did you add them after the discus from an LFS? Without proper quarantine, there's no telling what might be wrong. Also, as hillbilly said, we need to know water parameters. What are your temperature, pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate readings?

all the discus have been in there for a few months and have been doing fine none of the water parameters have changed but the ph is around 7-7.2 and the temp is 86. it is a 60 gallon tank the tankmates were in the tank first the only new fish was the one from the LFS and i didnt quarentine it. but it died two days after i got it and i took him out right away and the discus were fine a couple days after he was removed this just suddenly happend. i thought it was because of the goldfish so i took them out today. anyone have ANY ideas any help would be greatly appreciated this is MFK user DEESUL btw (accidently posted this on my friends acct) if u can private message me any info would be great i really like these guys and will do anything to make sure they dont die!!!!!

Here are some basic questions:

How often do you do water changes?
What type of water do you have? Well? City?
If you have city water do you age it?
What symptoms do they have?
Head standing?
Tail standing?
Cloudy eyes?
White film on slime coat?
Stringy/white/mucusy poo?
Are they eating?
Do they hide?
Are they dark in appearance?
Do they have clamped fins?
Is the ph stable or does it drop or raise after water changes?
