Ok so my problem is that out of my five discus I have four amazing eaters, and one little guys who doesn't eat much.
He doesn't really get bullied but still doesn't seem to eat alot.
Every day I try to get as much variety in their diet as I can, feeding tetra bit(everyone eats them readily except little mr. picky), flakes(same 4 eat 1 not) then I feed bloodworms and brineshrimp this stuff the little guy attack but once the cube disperses he won't eat it.
I really don't get it. And I want him to eat more, so what do you'all suggest should I stop feeding the flakes and tetra bits(which I would feel bad as the others love them so much) or should I add garlic etc.?

Garlic always seems to work for me. If not I put them in thier own tank to feed them till they get an appetite and then back in the main tank.

Hi Nicole,

Disperse the food evenly both side of the tank or using live food...California Blackworms,red wringers could bring Mr.Picky appetite up again.

Would live tubifex worms or brine shrimp help too? What garlic product do you guys use?

Whats your temperature??? I keep my juvies at a constant 88* to stimulate an appetite. Also some are just too picky for their own good and others are just poor eaters.
That's just the way it is overall.
