What is the quantity of food I should feed my discus?

[adammak47]

The rule of thumb for a lot of tropical fish is feed anything that can consume within 2 minutes.
How about discus? Since discus are slow eater, how do I know how much to feed and how do I know when they are full?
I can see their stomach are getting bigger after they ate but after 5 mins they will poop it out and they stomach become flat again.
So should I feed them more? I don't want to over feed them tho. That's why I came up with this question.
Thank You in advance!

Good question? I would like the answer to this also. My juvies are pigs. They havn`t left a meal behind yet and I feed them a lot IMO.

To me.....discus won't refuse to eat are FDBW and Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef flakes.....great combinations to feed yr new discus.

I just feed a lot. I like to eat, and eat good. So I feed all my fish good and a lot. I don't mind the water changes.

I don't mind the WC either, I just don't want them eat too much and bloated. I think it's not good to their growth isn't it?
