Discus like low PH... 7.0 is a little high for them.. I would lower it to 6.2.

This is untrue. I know people who keep discus in a pH of 7.8-8. Any fish can adapt to another pH even if it prefers something else. As long as you do a very long drip acclimation to slowly acclimate them to whatever you pH is.. and from then on.. it really does not matter what the pH is.. but that it is stable. Stability is the keep to fish keeping no matter what you have.

If you do not believe me go to simplydiscus.com and you can find all the discus information you will ever need. Mods.. I'm not sure if I am allowed to post other forums and I apologize if I am not.

I agree with amber, both re: pH and simply discus website!
You could try finding out what the discus were eating before you got them, and feed them the same thing. Also, I find frozen bloodworm is good to get them eating, they seem to like ti more than freeze-dried.
However, hex will put them off their food, so obviously it's important to treat that.

Ya, i heard that some discus done well with PH 8,

By the way, my PH 7 is good, and at night it's low a little bit more,

MY discus is looking better today, after treat them from fin rot that i noticed yesterday..

I dunno those diseases where came from......?

After 2 days i'll put them in a QT with temp 31 C and treat them with METRONIDAZOLE for 5 days.

I hope then all the internal parasites clear..

Sounds like they're on the mend now and your treatment is working.
It could be the stress of the move that triggered the disease - various pathogens are often present in the fish but have no real ill-effect until something happens to weaken the immune system - typically stress. Otherwise water qaulity, temp, disturbance, tank layout, tank mates, tank size, etc etc etc can all cause stress.

Thank you..

By the way my fishe's are shown now some improvement and they're start to eating on yesterday..

I'll change 50% of water today or tomorrow.
