What happened?

[stingingrays]

Okay I 6 discus, 3 of which I was stupid for taking because they were dark in color to begin with and within 3 days 4 of the 6 had died. Well I am left with two now and one had alittle what looked like fin rot which has now cleared up and is a very healthy looking fish. But the other remaining one which was the healthiest when I got them had become dark in color, doesn't seem to eat, white feces and hides at the top of the tank in a corner or along the bottom somewhere. I have read through the discus plague, and that would be my first thoughts but there is no problems with it shedding it slime coating, so I am thinking perhapps it is something else. My Water is in great condition, ph 6.5, nitrites 0 amonia 0. I do water changes 50% twice a week.
This is a pic when I first got it

Thanks for any and all input

all of them look quite thin to me, and i am not a discus keeper

white poo's are often associate diwht protooza

with those 2 things in mind , and if the fish are eating, i would be inclined to try and get metronidazol medicated food into them

put them into a hospital tank and up the temperature to 30-31C. put in some sea salts (no additives). I'd go with the Metro medication as well.

34-35 C ,put baktopur direct in tank ...and you may put tetraciclina on the wound... :thumb
