Hi all,
if you have a chance please visit AquaticSuppliers's Storefront.... http://aquaticsuppliers.com/
I've added several foods there. In addition to our Flagship Product..Freeze Dried Australian Blackworms and Our German sourced Line of Diskusgold® PlanktoPlus Daily (http://aquaticsuppliers.com/DiskusGold-Premium-Pellets_c9.htm) pellets we have added more great options.
We carry two economical Pellets,Discus Chow (http://aquaticsuppliers.com/AquaticSuppliers-Discus-Chow-16-0z-Pel-16oz.htm) and a new Cichlid Pellet ,Hi-Pro Cichlid Chow, both of these are great for Discus and at $20 per 16oz shipped are a real value product for their ingredients. I have been feeding them now to my fish here and the acceptance has been very good.
Last but not least...We are very pleased to now carry our Flagship Freeze Dried Australian Blackworms as a Premium Pellet produced by Mal @ AustralianBlackworms (http://www.blackworms.com.au/default.asp). My supplies of AquaticSuppliers' Australian Blackworm Pellets (http://aquaticsuppliers.com/AquaticSuppliers-Australian-Blackworm-Pellets-50-grams-Blackworm-pel-50Gr.htm) are very limited as I test out the Market here in the USA. I offer them in a convenient 50G resealable foil bag@ $9.99. This size is a great size to try out and see if your fish will take them.
The Nutritional information for each of these products is listed in the product descriptions in the shopping cart.
All Products include free economy shipping. Please note I do not provide tracking automatically for the Free Shipping. I also provide the option for Priority Mail ( tracking is included automatically) .The Rate paid is exactly what it costs for Priority mail. I do not charge handling fees and if the Shopping cart miscalculates and charges you more...I refund the difference after shipping.
These Products are great for many Fish species besides Discus so try them out if you are looking for alternative foods.
Some advice on Feeding New Foods that has worked for me over the years....
Getting Discus to eat pellets can be a real challenge especially if they have been raised on Blackworms or Beefheart Mixes as mine have. Often times hobbyists give up too soon because their fish ignore the new food initially. They start to worry that they are starving their fish because they have not eaten in a few days. Thats seldom the case. Be patient when introducing new foods. Its extremely important that you offer it exclusively . If you feed them their favorites and try to introduce new foods, 9/10 your Discus will wait it out. They "know" that sooner or latter that favorite food is going to show up in the tank when they see you...You are associated with it. Discus are alot like Kids... Some will eat anything you give them, Some are stubborn as all heck about new foods... Those ones will come around but not if you cave and make them their favorite meals!;) However there are some that really just wont take to anything but Peanut Butter and Fluff , Mac and Cheese, or what ever they love.... Thats a fact life for a parent.... same for a Discus Keeper.
You can however start them on the right foot by not spoiling them as Fry.... Fry and Juvies most readily accept new foods like Pellets... Just be patient! I am currently feeding these to a pair of adult Blue Snakeskins, a tank of wild Blues and group of Domestic Juvies and they take them with no hesitation. It took a few attempts as I really feed mostly Freeze Dried Blackworms and my fish are as spoiled as it gets!:)
Best always,
