I'm curious about this too, I had one that did this too and lost her about a month ago.
I tried almost everything I could for her, but nothing helped... I still want to find out what happened. None of the others shared her symptoms then or now...

always a difficult thing
I also had one doing this.. Just to confuse the situation... There was no indication of worm issues at all (which I did monitor for a while) and I treated for those nasty little flukes..
I am happy to report that after treatment, he always has the fattest belly after each feeding and is joining in with the other fish where before he appeared to be a loner..Hello my name is Sharon, and I am a Fish tragic..... 25 years of fish keeping and still so much to learn...
THE DISCUS BUUUGGGG HAS BITTEN....My Babies are all grown up now..
