I'm trying to leave that as a last resort as I only just got them to start feeding again after they refused to eat upon arriving at my place and being placed in quarantine. I understand what you're recommending though and will do that when I'm really left with no other choice. I've been hoping that leaving the pellets soaking in bloodworm juice and garlic guard would entice them to take a bite and try it, but no dice so far.
In better news, the display tank got planted today! It doesn't look like much now as the plants have alot of growing in to do but it's great to finally see progress in the display tank. I love the botanical mulch in the sand bed in place of the usual aquascaping gravel for detailing. I think it makes the tank really look more like the flooded forest theme that I was going for.

Sorry for the cloudy water, the tank was just filled up. Hopefully it will clear overnight.
Now to wait another 2 weeks for the plants to settle in before either adding more plants or finally adding the fish! Hopefully the discus will be on pellets by then.
