I don't know quite what to do. About a month ago one of my discus starting losing its color and had these transparent spots. The discus died shortly thereafter.

Now ALL of my discus are going through the same health issues. The fins start to rot away with a moldy white area and colored areas on the discus are starting to turn transparent and look a little shredded. The one that is worse off (the red spotted one) is hiding in a corner and slipping quickly.

Can anyone offer any advice?!

Along time ago I bought Metronidazole and a Dewormer (Piperazine) - would that help. Thanks guys!
 
At this point I would use maracyn I and II follow the boxes directions, but do a 50% water change before adding a new dose each day.

Probably as good a treatment as any for a bacterial problem. Fortunately, I've never had to deal with such, sorry. One thing I would advise is when this is over, is to break that tank down and clean everything. Bacteria can survive a lot. You sure don't want to go through this again.
 
looks like a sporazoa infection. Best to treat it with Toltrazuril. You will need to get your doctor to prescribe some Baycox-2.5%. The way to treat the fish is in a short bath. 4ml Baycox-2.5% per 10 liters of water for 4 hours for 5 days.
You might have to increase the dosage to 20 ml Baycox per 10 liters of water but immediatly move the fish to clean water if they are showing any signs of poisoning.
