    Default Frozen food

    What’s the best frozen food for Yellow colored Discus? Blood Worms?

    blood worms are low in nutrition.

    Black worms, beef heart (combinations of both), and other frozen foods will serve you better.

    Freeze dried blackworm are very healthy for your fish, and I personally prefer feeding freeze dried food over frozen food.

    I am sure there will be differing opinion here.

    You can feed your discus with Freeze dried Black worm with Carophyll yellow enhancing additive. The carophyll yellow is not a hormone and will not harm your fish at all.

    Thanks for the replies. I’m already feeding freeze dried blackworms and they love that. Also feed them frozen brine shrimp and krill along with some flakes and small pellets. Would that Carophyll be ok to feed to my Red Melon Discus too,as they’re in the same tank?

    I have the same combination of discus like you Yellow and red all in one tank. For the red discus, you can feed them Carophyll Pink enhancing food. However if you feed the Carophyll pink to your yellow discus, they will turn orange.

    What I did is using eggcrate to divide the tank into 2 sections. One section for the red and one section for the yellow. Then feed the enhancing food for a whole week before you remove the eggcate. Then repeat the same process every 3 or 4 months. Then your yellow discus will stay yellow and your red discus will stay bright red.

    Then the other months just feed them together but without the color enhancing food?
