Whenever my fish start to act a bit different to normal, the first thing I do is a big water change. I'd suggest you give that a try and keep us posted on what happens.

Often the big water change seems to put things right.

Good luck.

1 discus is getting worse excreting alot of slim and just noticed 1 of the other ones is only breathing out of one gill.I am going to treat for flukes.Not to sure if i should treat first one for fluke as well or if he has something else wrong with him.
