    Default feeding fdbw

    I use the cubes. I have 5 , 5inch discs and I split the cube in half. This I split in half and stick
    them too the glass about a foot apart. The problem is that they don't stick. The second they attack the
    food it " unglues" and floats to the top.
    Is there someway to prevent this or is this normal?

    I've found that letting the cubes soak in the tank water for 30-60 seconds or so before pressing them to the glass makes them stick better and stay stuck longer.

    Jakes advice is good there and it can help but the cubes dont stick very long, its normal that after the discus start feeding the cubes come off the glass... this is going to vary timewise based on how hard you pressed them to the glass and how aggressively your fish attack the cubes...

    I try to really press in hard on one spot and not move my finger around has given me the best results, but just like Brew said it comes off the glass from time to time, it just happens
