Hello all,
Want a chance to win 100 grams of our Freeze Dried Australian Black Worms absolutely free? I'm going to run a contest from now until April 30. Post a video here in this thread of your Discus eating my freeze Dried Blackworms from your hand and you will be entered in a drawing to win the 100 grams . Its that simple. The fish must be fed from your fingers or another persons ( no worm cones!) and of course the food must be our Freeze Dried Australian Black Worms.

Its easy to train Discus to eat from your hands, you've got over a month to do so have at it and good luck everyone!


Best always,
al

Cool challenge! That actually would be a challenge for me but I am game to try it. They may go for it simply going off the fact that right before they get the cubes in the cone, they always attack my hand before they even go in. So I think it may work :)

Guys, best to upload videos to youtube. Most members here will not be able to see Facebook videos due to not being a Facebook user or not being your friend on Facebook.

How are people making such long videos? Mine was only 11 seconds but 23MB and barely fit through my email. I'm using my iphone to film?

I uploaded straight from my iPhone. Click on the video and there will be a box with a arrow and there should be an option to load it to YouTube. You'll have to be connected to wifi for better quality video.

Very nice Chris. Just keep in mind, in order to participate in the challenge, you must have a video of them eating the FDBW rather than just a picture :)

Okay I think I got it this time. The group eating from my fingers. I even go near the tank, they all start coming up to wait for me to put a cube in the tank either holding it, or to stick it on the glass. 2 minutes and it is all gone except for a few worms here and there.

Thanks Al, I have been using tow hands lately to feed the group. They attack with speed I find myself having to push some away to make room for others.
