I'm a newbie at Discus, please help!

I am with ikevi on this one. Since those plants came out of the river you should have made sure you cleaned them of any bugs before putting them in the tank, you have no idea what may have tagged along. Keep your young Discus at 84 degrees until they get a bit bigger. I feed all my discus a variety of frozen foods and beefheart that I make up

well that was really what I thought at the beggining, do you think I may add some Parasite Clear to the tank?

 

[ikevi]

At this point I personally would just watch and make sure they don't start showing and problems. In my opinion adding meds just as a preventive isn't a good idea. (Assuming you are starting off with two healthy Discus.)

thanks for the help! I'm sorry for not posting any picture yet, the thing is that the tank is very dark since it is full of vegetation so you can took a good pic of it, not even a wide angle photo... I will try to take one

HEEEELP!! one of the discus the(the smallest) is swimming wierd, his fins are kinda white and his eyes are cloudy, is this a poor water condition symptom? The other two discus are always bothering him, but he is stiil eating, this condition started when I add the gold discus. Before that he was perfect
