Awesome video! For ages i have fed my discusfish only beefheart, but more recently i have changed to a variety of frozen food: artemia, krill, cyclops, bloodworms and beefheart. It was pretty easy to get my fish used to other food than just beefheart and it feels (and shows) that my fish are doing better than before. My discus live together with a whole army of Corydoras and Amano shrimps, those little guys help keeping the tank real tidy.
I wont feed beefheart because I know I wont have time for the additional water changes. Am experimenting with my own diy gel food made from ground up freeze dried insects, spirulina and pellets as well as grindal and black worms
Real credit to you those Discus.Stunning.Never kept them but beefheart seems a strange food for fish.Not something I would have thought was appropriate for fish species but forgive my ignorance .Think I would rather be like yourself and use good quality foods designed for them.
I feed mine stendker goodheart once a day and a frozen discus mix. My discus won't eat the soft pellets but the tank also gets a variety of dry foods for everyone else. The discus do enjoy the stick on tabs from your Web page though. Just a note on the beefheat but I've added a surface skimmer to help with the mess it can make.
stendker goodheart once every other day, Grade 4 - 1·4 - 2·2 mm Soft Artemia from TA aquaculture once a day, freeze dried black worm once per day, Discus food turkey heart pellets every,other day live white worm every day, Vital Aquatics Discus Insect a couple of times per week and occasionaly bloodworm to coax out any picky feeders
I bought 11 discus and when they got to breeding age, they wouldnt stop chasing and attacking, one by one they refused to eat and sat up in the corner, why dont yours fight? mine just wanted to breed and chase to the death. I lost alot of money on Discus fish.
@@yumisandiego827 yes was plenty of wood, chasing was constant, nothing would stop the bullies, the ones chased went into fear, refused to eat, went skinny and died. one by one.
@@AussieRic The exact same thing happened to me about 20 years ago. My 'dream' tank ended up in a skip and I've not kept a single fish since. Going to keep Discus again this year and have learnt where I think I went wrong. A larger shoal, higher temps and any bullies get a time out for a couple of weeks.
