    Default Foods I feed them

    As week 2 approaches they have been eating many different kinds of foods.
    1) Sea food mix (Eddie's)
    2) Beef heart
    3) Brine shrimp
    4) Blood worms
    5) Discus Supreme
    6) Flake

    They eat every thing very well except the flake food. I have it in the sea food mix and they eat that so its ok. Here's an updated picture of them taken today.

    Jim,

    Sounds like a great variety! If you've got the flake in the prepeared food and they're eating it, it's all good. Are you trying to use the flake in an auto feeder? I've had better luck in the past with granules.

    Best wishes!

    Jim,

    I used to use Tetra Tropical Granules (Tetra Color Bits). Haven't used them in some time. They work great in auto feeders though. The problem that I had was that they make yellow fish very orange. Other than that, they're great!

    Best wishes!

    I use the tetra color granules as well. They really go nuts for it.

    I am happy they are eating. I switch it up every day so they don't get bored with one type of food.

    Great job Jim, an array of food is what is needed for success. My fish when young don't like eating flake, although when they get a little older they take too it more then the granules.
