I just got in 8 new juvie discus from Hans 2.5" in size. I feed my other discus FBW and FBS but I was wondering if that is good to feed the juvies or do I need to give then something else. Hans gave me his recipe for what he feeds his discus and I made that and tried it but that made such a huge mess in my tank. I spent a lot of time cleaning after feeding so I am looking for something cleaner and small enough the fish will eat. I was thinking about getting some freeze dried blackworms and trying that. Any other ideas?

Better off using Han's recipe for the first couple of weeks and later introduce the flakes/pellets that you prefer.....new arrivals takes time to adjust to new environment and foods:)

If they are new, they probably won't smash the mix just yet. Eventually, no matter how messy it is, they'll end up cleaning it all. ;)

I will just try a little at a time so maybe it won't make such a huge mess next time.

You could add a binder like gelatin.
