Hello!
I am a former reef tank guy that is switching to Discus -- so although I know my way around a tank, I am a little clueless on some of the elements of keeping discus.
I am about 1/2 way through a fishless cycle (220 gl) and will be adding 100-150 cardinals first to make sure the bugs are worked out. A month or two later, I'll add 8 adult (5-6") discus.
Now, I have read a lot about all of the different types of foods -- pellets, Formula flake, blood worms, black worms, beef heart, etc.
I am a little confused on what would be best for my particular set-up.
Money is not too big of an issue (although a consideration). No one is in the house 8am to 6pm, but I have two pretty solid auto feeders. What would be the best mix and schedule to feed both the discus and cardinals?
Thanks for the help!:)
Matt
