    Update: FDBW's (freeze-dried black worms) have been ordered. Will try them out soon. Meanwhile, will continue feeding the freeze-dried blood worms.

    On a separate note, is it possible to tell the sex of the fish using the images that I have provided? I ask this because when it is appropriate for me to introduce additional Discus into it's environment I would be looking to introduce the opposite sex to avoid aggression.

    I'd guess female. I'm correct over 50% of the time.

    Thanks, I think it is female too due to the relatively small lips and curved-shaped fins.

    I do hope it is female as I acquired this male today:

    The feeding issue of the albino female is not going to resolve itself as I think it has a genetic eye-sight issue (although not blindness). I guess I will just have to feed the albino larger chunks of food and when it is sharing the same tank with the male my hope is that it will see the male consume/disturb food and therefore associate him with meal time. I also have some Seachem Garlic Guard that I could use with the food so the albino can smell it out. I've had fish, however, that hate the smell of garlic.
