Discus and many other fish can get stressed due to water conditions, have you tested the water? If so what are the readings of the tests. Also Discus are a cichlid and require very clean water conditions so weekly water changes are recommended for them. You could try to feed them some thawed brine shrimp, not very nutritious but can entice them to eat.
wild discus arnt orange
if it IS wild then it probably has parasites so any food it eats is eaten up by the parasitic worms.
what is he trying to feed him? try frozen bloodworms (thawed out first) and pass on dried stuff
what size tank? too small of tank leads to bad water which is prob whats making this fish sick
are there any fish in the tank? discus are more comfortable with other discus around.
more info. would be useful. for now do a water change, making sure to use the water conditioner to take out the bad stuff in tap water
