    i feed mine ox heart on occasion
    Blood worms
    Daphinia
    Brine Shrimp
    tetra rubymin
    Tetra Granules
    White worms (quit expensive and not sold everywhere)
    I feed this variety in a schedule i put together as they enjoy a variety of foods.They look colorful and vibrant or that's my opinion.

    For fry i feed them a mixture of powder stuff you put in water then throw it in the tank i have only had fry once so i would also like to know what people suggest ?

    Hi

    I have a link to a thread in another forum where Prof Dirk describes how to work out a balanced diet for discus (and other fish). I can post the link here if there are no objections from admins, or I can pm the link to those interested, or I can copy and paste the text and give credit to Prof Dirk in the post. Which way?

    Thanks veegal. I kinda knew I saw it here, just didn't want to go look for it as I already had a shortcut to the other link. But well done!
