ONe of my wild discus is super skinny compared to the rest of them. I have ten discus in all and the green tefe is super skinny. Can anyone give me some help, they are in a 180 gallon with a 50gl sump with 30 pounds of media. I put him in a quaranteen tank and he has been eating tube-fx worms. Maybe an internal parasite? i heard wilds a prone to that
 
I would say treat him for parasites
 
hmmm OK, then I will agree with you.

what does the pooo look like?

If it is eating flakes, probably the easiest thing at this point in time would be Jungle Labs Medicated Flakes (for IPs) as well as your other new fish as a precautionary measure.

Other treatments would be either Fenbendazole or Flubendazole, actually JTs contain one of them I believe.
