Poll: BEST dry food?

[jackpot21n]

If we could only feed our discus with one dry food which would it be? The one we think our discus will get the most nutrition from AND they will take.

Let me know if I missed some dry food that we use. I will try to add it to the poll.


-Tetra min tropical crisps
-Tetra color bits
-New life spectume discus formula
-Hikari discus bio gold
-Sera discus (granuals,red,blue)
-Ocean nutrition cichlid omni (flakes or pellets)
-Ocean nutrition formula one (flakes or pellets)
-Omega one cichlid (flakes or pellets)
-Omega one super color (flakes or pellets)

I didnt think that anyone would want to feed freeze dried foods as the ONLY dry food.

You may be right. However, I beleive some people feed for example only frozen blood worms, so it seems possible that others may exclusively use the freeze-dried version?

I'm just throwing the possibility out there, totally your call!

Point taken

I can't make up my mind with the Sera, the New Life spectrum Discus or the Omega One super color flakes....I have all three, and they all look good and my discus love them all. But if I were to choose only one to go with Al's Magic Beef heart, , I'd go with the Omega One flakes. Pellets worry me. mike

None of those, Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef beats every single one of those hands down!

Hikari and New Life Spectrum work best for me. In third is tetra color bits.

I try to avoid Sera foods because I think they dissolve too fast and do not retain their shape very well in water.

I'm thinking I should try Ocean Nutrition since everyone speaks so highly of them...but I do not like using flakes (I think it's too messy).

Quick question for Eddie(basshead). Why prime reef? why not ON Discus Formula?

Checkout the ingredients, Protein content %. I have yet to find a flake with that much protein. All of it from extremely good sources too. Also, my dicus go bananas over it!

Ocean nutriton cichlid flake. But... If I could only use one, I would stop caring for Discus and raise crawdads.

Hands down the most complete from my experience is NLS.. Would also feed tetra colorbits as a back up.. Sue

Hey there. I recently added Hikari Bio Gold and my Alencer Red had a bright red color come out of nowhere. I am going to try out the Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef though. Sounds good.
