Hello everyone,
I've been looking for a new food to start offering to compliment my freeze dried blackworms. It had to be something different, something that had a good nutritional profile and little in terms of junk and fillers. It had to have the right size, something really made for discus. Its not that easy to find a premium pellet like that! I even went as far as having various pellets and flakes made with my Blackworms as an ingredient. I really wasn't thrilled with any of the results, so I set it on the back burner.
Recently, I got introduced to a new Discus food maker, Axel Oldemeier, in Germany by a mutual friend of ours and got some samples of his Premium DiskusGold Pellets. Its a bit different than what is out there. More of a soft slow sinking pellet. Soft enough that even fry and juvies can eat it. I sent some samples out to a few test users, most results came back very positive. Tested it so far with discus, angels( including altums) rams, geophagus, keyholes etc. As with all new foods, it can take a little time for them to get used to it...but once they do it can be a feeding frenzy!
Check out the video here from the manufacturer...
The food is called Diskusgold® PlanktoPlus Daily.If theres a market here for it, I will be distributing it in North America. I recently got in my first small stock shipment in to see how it goes.




Axel has more information on his site( in German but google translate works well!).
The original ingredient list is in german, and so the translation is a little rough.
Diskusgold® PlanktoPlus Daily.
The Soft granules with L-carnitine growth booster, discus vitamins and 15% plankton (brine shrimp, krill ...)
We call it the new Smooth food because it is not hard. It is full of power:
Low humidity, lots of plankton. Brine shrimp, Artemia cysts, crustaceans and shellfish. A discus vitamin mix, an optimal protein-fat ratio, herbal ingredients complement the food and make it a powerhouse. The water stress by our PlankoPlus Daily is low. Thus PlanktoPlus Daily is the ideal complement to the frozen food basic nutrition your discus fish! The food is cold pressed, so the nutrients and vitamins are retained as possible.
Granulation is for Discus from 5 cm up to adult Discus.
Ingredients: Meat and animal derivatives (30% bovine protein extracts), vegetable by-products, fish and fish derivatives, Vegetable protein extracts, molluscs and crustaceans (10% krill 5% Artemia cysts), protein products from microorganisms, oils and fats, vegetables, yeasts, algae, vitamin premix (discus vitamins), amino acids 1000 mg / kg L-carnitine
Analysis: Crude Protein 48%, crude fat 11.8%, crude fiber 0.9%, ash 4.9%
Just wanted to share. I have been looking for something unique and different to add to my store and I am hopeful this works out. If you are in the market for a new Premium Food, please consider giving it a try. Your Discus deserve the best, thats why you feed our Freeze Dried Blackworms. I sincerely hope to see this food will be on their menu as well.
I have added it to my storefront so you can easily purchase it while shopping for your discus Freeze Dried Blackworm Needs...

Thank you, and Thank you Axel for the opportunity to work with you!
