What would be the best food to buy from KensFish for juvenile discus?
Since juveniles need many feedings a day, I would use an automated feeder, so the food must not float (or not more than a few seconds) or it will risk being dragged into the overflow.

And I suppose food that is good for juveniles would also be good for older discus?

So which food(s) do you suggest I get?
I will be taking advantage of a group buy, that's why I'm asking for KensFish in particular.

You can try this

http://www.kensfish.com/moreinfo/sera-discus-granules-106lb.html

I feed this one (they shrink to bottom) I think the sera also does that too.

Spectrum marine fish formula? I didn't know marine fish food was good for freshwater too. When I had a reef I really liked to feed my fishes with frozen Formula One, is it good for discus and other freshwater fishes? The dry food with automated feeder will be used during daytime, but every evening I always give frozen food

Sorry.. I paste the wrong link.. It is spectrum for the discus. I read other threat that some members only feed discus with this

I mix mine. I feed this on the morning at 6 am with auto feeder. On 10am,2pm,6pm i feed them with flake (BH/Spirulina), after i got home I may feed them with Tetra colorbit.

When I feed Sera Discus and Tetra Color Tropical Granules my 5" Discus at the same time they eat the Tetra food first. I do not know which is better for Discus. Check Kens for prices. The Sera granules weigh significantly more. The 7" high containers of Sera weigh 1 lb (It says 480 grams on the package.) Tetra 10.58 oz (300 grams). I do not recall the fill levels.
The guaranteed analysis is similar.

I use spectrum for my discus. It's not their favorite food, but they'll eat it. I've heard Sera is a good choice, too.
