The fish swims around good no dropsy. I feed them blood worms and dry food quality food. I change the water 50% once a week with filtered water I have other discus in tank all good. I have put Big L worming solution in tank if that doesnt work im going to do epsom salt balth will that help. I was thinking i have a small plague of snails i wonder if she ate some shell and all.

I think they need a more varied diet, sometimes bloodworms can block fish as the skins often do not get digested properly.

I would give it a dose of epsom first
