Discus not eating propley yet

[axl10]

Hi,
i recently added 8 discus to my new 110g planted tank about a week ago and there only really eating frozen dried black worms for the first time yesterday. Some of the fish are picking at my beef heart but that's it and there only getting excited for the black worms and nothing else. I have tried beef heart, flakes, pellets and color bits what else should I try and do to get them to eat. I'm changing 50% of the water daily to get them to eat as there been fusy buggers at the moment.

Cheers Axl

Just give them time. I have had new adults go almost a month before they started feeding. Juvies usually start eating faster. The best thing you can do is continue to offer the same foods and provide them with clean water.

What were they eating before you got them? Start there and slowly mix the new food with what they were eating before. They'll come around.
