what are some pellet foods that discus will actually eat?

[dornblaser]

I feed Tropical D-50 Plus and freeze dried Blood Worms from 2 autofeeders. I hand feed freeze dried Tubflix worms and recently I mix it up with California Black Worm cubes. The OP asked about pellets my Discus love the Tropical D-50 Plus pellets.

If you want sinking granules, it's hard to beat Royal Menu or Sera.

I also feed Vibra Bites and discus, big and small, will eat them. The key is to feed dry food as the first meal of the day, when they're hungriest. Also, I recommend you stop the frozen red worms.

1. They're like ice cream to all fish species.
2. They have minimal nutrition.

I only use frozen red worms to get fish that stopped eating after shipping, or fish that went through medication, to eat again. I'll also use them as the last meal of the day if I need to power feed some individuals. But I don't feed them as a regular part of the diet. My fish get frozen beefheart, but as the second or third meal of the day. First feeding is flakes and dried food.

I’ve used the gro red,beef heart and color enhancing flakes. Discus ate them all. I mix them all up in a container gives them variety

I got some bug bites flake, help off on beef heart and blood worms. They started to eat it. They don't gobble it up but they do eat it. Will try the blackworm flakes. Thanks for all the help.
