Ok I'm ordering some first thing tomorrow!! Mine is like bad dip at a party.....it just sits there, pasty and uneaten!!, nothing worse to a woman than her food not being eaten LOL I need beefheart crack please ! I have organic fresh hearts too such a waste ;)

Two of my Asian discus started going crazy on Hans beef mix. I'm mixing them with my own beef heart mix + garlic.

It's like watching WFW in my tank during feeding. There is no such thing as shy discus in my tank during feeding. Everyone is fighting to get some beef mix.

Same with my discus.

I feel there is no need to feed them frozen food such as hikari BW and BS. I don't see a point to feed them any other food besides beef mix. BM is relatively cheap and nutritious. The only problem that come with that is messy and more wc are needed.

I feed them many times a day to make sure their stomach is always bloat. Am I overfeeding them? I do 75% wc every 2 days.

[Discus-Hans]

If it's messy, you feed way to much. If you feed them like they bloat, you feed too much, cut down 50%. Lesser messy and still enough,

On the other hand........ the more you feed, the more food you need....... the more I sell lol lol (just kidding)

Hans

I feel they grow faster when their stomach are always bloat.

Hans I feed my discus about four times a day with Han's meat mix when I am home. Otherwise they only get fed twice a day. The feedings are light feedings.

[32Bit_Fish]

It is also fun to watch them eat. So I feed them 10 times a day when I'm home.

Ronald, when did you call?? I've no missed calls on my phone, shoot me an email discus-hans@comcast.net Don't want to discuss shipping pricing on the forum.

Problem is, it's for every zip different, not everybody understands this, it's not mine, it's FedEx's pricing.

Don't order the food over the online store, it's based on shipping Discus (and water = heavy) to most places I can ship the food cheaper.

Send me an email and I give you shipping cost for my smallest box, for shipping 1 LB to max. 7 LBS of the food (shipping stays the same for 1 or 7LBS). Food is $15/lb

Meh... My water started getting cloudy. It was crystal clear before I started going with the beef mix feeding routine. I guess I would have to increase W/C and feed less BM.

Hans,

How much food do Standker feed their discus everyday? Do you know? 10+ times of feeding until they get bloat?

This is what they advice:

Feed Dosage using STENDKER-Good Heart
Please split the following feed amounts into 2 – 3 feeds per day and be certain to defrost the feed before feeding.
(The evening before feeding, place the daily amount of feed in your refrigerator in a plastic container with a well-sealing lid, to defrost it
gradually so that the feed will retain a firm consistency!)
For 10 discus fish with a size of:
- 6.5 to 12 cm (2,5”-45”) you will need approx. ½ to 1 blister (2.5 to 5 g / 0,1 to 0,2 oz)
per meal, which corresponds to 7.5 to 15 g / 0,25 – 0,5 oz per day.
- 12 to 18 cm, (5”-7”) you will need approx. 1 to 1 ½ blisters (5 to 7.5 g / 0,2 - 0,3 oz) per
meal, which corresponds to 15 to 22.5 g / 0,5-0,75 oz, per day.
TIP: Using gardening pruners/ secateurs, you can easily cut the required feed amount from the frozen 500 g / 17,64 oz feed slabs. You
can also cut the feed into small portions.
When our frozen feed is defrosted, it will keep for approx. 2 – 3 days in your fridge. Do not defrost the feed in a kitchen
strainer under running water, as this will wash out important vitamins.
Please be absolutely certain to defrost frozen feed before feeding! Discus like feed which is hard in texture and may lose their
appetite, if they bite into frozen feed. In addition, feed which is still frozen has been known to cause inflammations of the air
bladder or inflammations of the intestine in some discus fish.
Depending on the size of your aquarium and the number of fish, it can be helpful to feed in 2 – 3 separate feeding locations, as
this gives the weaker fish in your group a good chance to feed too. The defrosted feed can easily be split into smaller portions
using a knife or spoon, which you can also use for feeding. Our discus fish and other companion fish eat our feed very
quickly and eagerly.
Please take out rest of food after 10 minutes.


Best regards,

Hans

They recommended 2-3 times a day and you are feeding 10 times a day.
