These discus graze all day

Amazing fish! My mollies and platys do that too pick at things in the aquarium all day even though they are nice and plump.

@DannyBWell this is why I don't feed 1x / week. Fish are always grazing and hunting in their natural habitat. 

One day of grazing and finding food actually helps.

@Jeff yeah I may start doing that I'm trying to get my Cory's to breed but the other guys keep eating the eggs.

I have remove the the eggs. I put the a net breeding box with air stone or in a tumbler. I have even floated a plactic container with the eggs and some partial water changes and stiring. I would not do that if you can help it or they lay and you don’t have those. In that tank the discus and angelfish will follow them around as she lays on the glass.. I got about 20 eggs from that tank Tuesday. It crazy. Those cories are old and don’t lay much, 11-13 years old.

I feed every day, but it’s it’s mostly because have small amounts of baby brine and I’ll put some end. This could Go a week with out food.
