how big are the discus? try feeding it pellets in the morning as a first meal when theyre the most hungry

how many in the tank? is it the only one not eating the pellet or is the whole group not eating? also water paremeter?

could be a loner. what i do to introduce my new discus to pellets and flake is i put them in a seperate tank along with one that already attacks the food so it "teaches" the others
