Hello everyone. This is my first post. I actually have a question....I have a young discus that I recently purchased. I purchased three from Discus Hans in Baltimore (great place), After about three weeks of introducing the fish, I had an outbreak of ick. I cured it with a herbal product. All the discus are eating fine except one of the discus. It's been two weeks since he's eaten. I don't want to add salt to the water because it's heavily planted. I'd hate to lose this guy. Any ideas?

Have you tried raising the temp? ich dies at 89.5 degrees F.

Raise the temp but do it gradually over the next couple of days. Around 86 (but I have to say I only went up 82 with mines while medicating). Also don't forget to add extra agitation to the water. Higher temp means less oxygen in the water.
