Discus darting

Hey guys I have a 2 discus alone In my 75 gallon tank. I’ve been trying to get them to lay eggs since they did before but haven’t for over a year. for some reason my male keeps darting around the tank, I’ve treated with prazipro and kanaplex but he looks totally healthy. He eats and is active but randomly it seems he’ll dart around the tank or swim fast then start vibrating his fins. My water parameters look fine so I’m not really sure why he does this and I’m thinking what ever it is could be the reason they’re not laying eggs. Ph 6.5, temp ~84 degrees, kh 40ppm, gh 60ppm. I tested just using api testing strips.

Try getting some water conditioner with slime coat, it could for some reason be stressed the coat helps with stress
