Following are how I take care of my Discus:

1. Keeping Discus in a bare tank.
2. Water change once every two days if possible and MUST use with good water conditional. Do note that the frequency of water change can be related to the grow rate as well.
3. Add the water conditional to the tank before topping up with tap water. If you can, keep over night stored water is the safest way.
4. Keep to the same feeding timing if possible and ensure no leftover food.
5. Do not over stock in a tank.
6. Regular deworming is needed if you are feeding beef/pork heart.

Hope the above helps and do enjoy Discus keeping
thanks for the tip. but for now is there anything wrong to my discus? one side of the fin in close mode.

If you feed beef heart, need to maintain very good water parameters. Cause water very easy dirty.

For feeding pellets, the best way is to starve them. They will eat. Can be a few days, a few weeks. Just dont give in and they will give in
