Nice wild discus you have. I don't have luck with them.

There are some basic habits in wild discus husbandry that you should not miss and then wild discus will reward you with its color development and appetite !. First : Always quarantine wild discus at least 21 days. If all are eating and show no sign of illness then you can add them to your community tank. Second: large percentage daily water change is highly recommended . Third: wild discus don't like intense light. It's better to have them in a bare bottom tank or only with a very light layer of substrate

Do you deworm them while under quarantine?

For this fish it happened that I dewormed them after the QT while I started to se some fish stopped eating and where pooing white. i used prazigold for 7 days in the community tank with the tank height reduced to 1 feet and allowing the sump to continue work

Mine always start well and then after some time will stop eating. Even after deworming also dun help. I suspect is the feeding of bloodworms.

It's true . I have encountered Fish get sick after a while of feeding frozen blood worms . It can also be that they get stressed on the current tank setup.m, due to location of tank (too many sunlight , to noisy, too many vibrations , many people walking by , wrong tank mates, wrong number of discus group, wrong water parameters )

Also maybe frozen blood worm is not enough vitamins for the discus?

Yes , very likely lack of vitamins is a factor
