    Default best pellet food for discus

    As the title states what is the best pellet food for discus. Currently I'm feeding 2 mt. olds fdbw and discus chow, both from Al.
    JUst want to get a feel for all the other opinions out there.

    Hikari VibraBites has been the best all around dry food for all my South American cichlids, including discus.
    At my age, everything is irritating.

    Thank you all for your advice. I am going to go with discus chow pellets from Al.
    The ingredients and the analysis of protein, fat and ash just seem to me pretty
    what you want, plus the fish really go after it

    I buy my food from this guy. I like it because he makes it himself in small batches. That way it's much fresher than the big brand stuff. Besides, the first time I tried it the fish devoured it immediately. Your guys are getting his phase 3 food. Adults get phase 4.

    That's right. I'm sure you can contact the guy if you have any questions. I found him on AB and contacted him from one of his auctions.

    I mentioned that you put me on to him and he emailed me back and spoke very highly of you.
    Called you a super person. High praise indeed.
    Thanks

    How nice of you, Jay. I've sent several customers to him. It's great that he thinks so highly of me.
