Chickybabe Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 I have just bought 2 discus, I am currently feeding them COlourbits, bloodworms and tropical flakes, but was told to feed them shrimp is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hi, you don't have to feed them shrimp.Blood worm and colorbit will be sufficient. Beefheart will be better if you can maintain the water quality. How big is your discus? If it is juvies, it is best to raise them up in a bare bottom tank with frequent water changes. Key to big healthy discus is plenty of fresh clean water. HTH. I breed discus and I feed them home made beefheart fortified with vitamin and mineral and colorbit only.
