Attracting discus to Tetra Bits

[Don_Lee]

I am submitting this question for a member having problems with their computer......

How does one go about attracting discus to Tetra Bits? This person has discus that are used to eating bloodworms, and will not touch the Tetra Bits that he is trying to get them to eat. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Don:D

Don't feed them for a day, soak the tetra bits in a bit of thawed bloodworms, then feed -- first feeding of the day.

Also, add some bits into the beefheart or similar homemade food mix. They will get used to it.

I use tetra bits mixture with beefheart. I put tetra bit soak let them food become soft to feed them.

They also love Ocean Nutrition Brine Shrimp+ , mine have grown to prefer them over Hikari blookworms .. after they started eating those, they started eating the tetrabits too.. wouldn't touch them before :confused:

What I do is use one of those feeding cones, add some color bits / tetra bits in first. Make sure it is set in the cones and get soft. Then add some blood worms or black worms. So when they eat the worms they will get some color bits / tetra bits. Eventually, they will get use to eating color bits / tetra bits. And they will eat the bits themselves.

That's a good idea... Using the cone and combine different foods in it.

My guys too are not big fans of Tetra Bits.

I gather it's a good thing. :confused:
