I recently tried Vibra Bites and they took to it right away. I've had my discus over two years feeding a variety of food. So I was a bit surprised they took to a new food so easily.
As the title says i'm looking for some pellet or flake food that they will actually eat. I have bug bites and good flakes as well as slow sinking and other pellets. These buggers wont even sniff them.
I give them a small amount of beef heart once a day and bloodworms twice as day. I throw in some pellets in between but only the tank mates eat them.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I use Tropical D-50 Plus. You can find it at Kensfish.com
^^This ^^
Switch it up where you regularly feed the pellets and only after they eat you offer other treats ..That is how you power feed ..
I feed kens grow meal # 3 and Tropica D-50 plus along with freeze dried black worms and frozen blood worms ..
No beef heart for my fish .
I feed freeze dried black worms fdbw and blackworm flakes as their main foods. Bloodworm maybe twice a week the same with beefheart.
Mine are extremely picky, i did try quite a few higher priced foods but they all ended up in the trash.
Someone here recommended Tetra Color XL Tropical Granules and they took them right away. I also feed some of Al's FD Black Worms.
Small size Bug Bites, TetraColor, and Vibra Bites for my fish. Something to know is that discus do not have teeth but rather grinders in their mouths. They will take in a pellet and crush it , spit if back out, and if they can find the smaller pieces then or later then re-eat them.
Try here for Blackworms flakes.

I buy the blackworm flakes from California black worms. Buy my fdbw from Al. The reason I use them is it’s not just blackworms they add other nutrients to them. I also use blackworm pellets and I buy the flakes and pellets off eBay.
I have tried a lot of different pellets. I find that all my species really like the floating Omega color pellets. The worst one was sinking North Fin pellets; it fouls the water and they won't eat it with vigor.
