HOW TO: Make Quality Discus Food | Gabe Posada 

I enjoy how he speaks he makes you just wanna learn.

I good idea instead of bags is ice cube trays. You can find them in all kinds of sizes and then once frozen put the cubes in bags. Now you have servings just like you buy at the store. Thank you for all your information and love for this hobby Gabe. If it wasn’t for you and your team I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing. Thank you 🙏 you are a blessing to the hobby.

I don't keep fish anymore but I sure appreciate you and your openness. Secret keepers can suck. Clearly your business continues to thrive and no wonder. Best wishes to you, I enjoy watching.

Dear Gabe Today I’ve made your beef heart recipe. I’ve just changed the kind of multivitamins because I didn’t found those that you suggested. I asked my butcher to clear from fat and ground the meat. I’ve just a minipimer with a grounder accessory at home but it was enough to smash salmon and spinach and blend all fresh ingredients together. Finally I added krill and mixed by hand making a great mess. But this is my Christmas present for my discuss and they actually seem to appreciate for it. Thank you Gabe and Merry Christmas. 🎄 😊

Hey Gabe: I made my discus food today. My hand-cranked meat grinder didn’t work too well, so I did it all with the food processor. That worked fine. I ended up with two (flattened) gallon zip lock bags rolled out to 1/4” thick. That’s a lot of fish food. Huge savings over the stuff from the pet store. And... my Discus love it! Thanks.

Wow! Thank you for your generosity in sharing this food recipe for the fish. I will certainly follow this. God bless you and your business.

Awesome stuff. I knew that you sold a quality product but I had no idea just how good it was. That only reaffirmed why l only do business with you when it comes to discus & tropical fish. Thank you Gabe; for your time, dedication & honesty; for not only your customers but also the discus profession!!

I was really looking forward to this video and you did not fail to deliver! Great job ! Looking forward to more content!

Thanks for sharing, this will definitely help all Discus lovers. Wish you a good health Jack and more blessings to come.

i ve learend alot from you.. thanks for bieng extravagant on knowledge and this kind

Wow, Gabe! You're an excellent teacher. I can't wait to make this for my Discus!

There is no a single reputable breeder that does these videos for the people to see, I am sure this knowledge is worth money but thanks for giving it away for free.

Excellent video. First time I have ever seen this done. Thank you 👍

Thank you for making all these information available to the hobby. Thank you for all your hard labor. I cant wait to get some fish from you guys!!!

Great uncomplicated recipe Gabe thanks for sharing

You are the best of the best.

Excelente video gabe , saludos desde Dominican Republic

Great instruction makes it look easy.

Now you are a Discus Guru who knows everything about Discus 👍🏻💐

Thank you so much! Greets from the Netherlands! Ps for everybody that's trying to search "what vitamin" it's just the regular once for humans the "one a day pills"

Hi .I have just cone across this and found it to be very helpful.What multi vitamins do you add ?

Fantastic video. Thank you Gabe. I ran out for beef heart, garlic, spinach and salmon today. Krill coming from Amazon. By the way... You were right. I’m very happy with that Red Ninja!

My black ghost knife loves your d allio plus

I keep other fish, mostly Tetras. I give them different kinds of food like Flakes, Daphnia, Brine Shrimps, small pellets, and other foods. I think if you feed them only one kind of food for very long, then they won’t eat anything else. One day this, one day that. I also throw in some veggies for my Shrimps( that’s another tank) and Snails spread in all tanks. Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed watching!

Thank you for your fantastic video

Thank you for your excellent explanation. Very good.

Hi Gabe, I’m relatively new to discus keeping and recently followed your beefheart recipe to make my own. This turned out to be a little too crumbly and I’m not sure where I went wrong. I used the same ingredients as you did but didn’t get the same consistency. Can you suggest how to remedy this please? I’ve been watching your videos for about three years now and have learnt so much. Keep up the good work, you are simply the best!

Thank you for making this detail and helpful video.....🤩

Thank you so much Jack for sharing that that was very cool and kind of you thank you so much

Great recipe. Hey you could have a cnc machine make a paddle with a half inch grid on the bottom and when you put the paste in the bag and push the paddle down on it it will press cubes into the paste and make it easy to break pieces of and measure cubes per fish.

Super video. Professionally delivered ☺☺

Great thanks - straight forward explanation can't wait to make it :-) Cheers

That is one bad-ass knife, Gabe!

Thanks Gabe,

Yipee ...just received my discus food for 21 discus !! Hope they love it bc I ordered 4 packages :)...Love me some Gabe

I thought about investing in a good food processor and making this myself but for the amount I'll need it's cheaper to buy it from Wattley and KNOW that it's made right with the best ingredients. Also, nearly all of my Discus are from Wattley and were raised on this exact formula. I just ordered 5 pounds and hope it keeps well in the freezer!

New sub! Thank you for all the knowledge you share to all us discus keepers!🤗

very useful information.Thanks.

Great info, thanks

I thought salmon was too fat for feeding fish. Your mix is unique. Everybody else has peas, shrimp, cklams and gelatine.

Ostrich heart +1/3 prawns for the frozen mix. Brine shrimp as a treat. Give your discus good quality pellets/flakes which contains garlic. That s all.

Quality content Gabe, subbed

Wow - I’m going to have to get some !!

Great vids thank you 😊

THANK YOU SIR FOR THE INFO 😍

Thanks for keep sharing sir.

thanks jack

Excellent video Sir. If you have free time, could you please make a video on how to grow fry from swimming stage to 1 month stage including foods.... Medicine etc including ph et tds. Thank you for your time and I hope you have a wonderful day

Great video 👍

Excellent!!!!

Beautiful... Thank . you so . much!!!

As usual another very informative video now I know how to make Beefheart food

Thank you

Thank you for this interresting video

I can not get krill meal anywhere... Is it okay to use krill flakes tropical or gelatin to make the right texture?

Hi Jack. Love the way u explain things. Got hooked on to discus and started keeping discus watching ur videos. I was hoping I could make discus food like u have done. The only doubt is what kind of multivitamins do I put in the food. Is it the regular one a day vitamins which we use( which brand) OR is there a specific one for discus. Iam based in London. Please advice. Waiting for a reply. Thank you ever so much

I wonder if this is also good for corydoras fry and rainbowfish!!??? Very interesting!?

Muy bien

I wish u had place in uk. I would help u for free. Millions of respect

I've made that for decades...minus the other add ons. I did try mixing in shrimp powder..and the fish would not eat it . I also try to add just enough gelatin to hold it together. I use as least amount of it as I can. If you add very little water ? A blender gets the job done. Beefheart is close to Tubifex worms as a food..without the disease the worms might have..or as they spoil sometimes if you can't feed them all fast enough. Where did you get the krill? I live near the ocean and I doubt I've ever seen Krill sold here in the SF bay area. Not that I saw.

Thank you, Mr. Jack. I tried the mixture and showed excellent results. please i need to know how can I determine the gender of discus in a small size of 12 cm , waiting you answer :)

What kind of multivitamin? Is it fish specific?

Thanks for thorough explanation. Any additional colour enhancements recommended? Is it suitable for all colour of discus ?

Thank you for the recipe! Would beef/pork livers work instead of heart?

hello Gabe and thank you for all your posts. i have all the ingredients you've mentioned in preparing food for discus however i couldnt find krill meal anywhere. can you please help me with how to aquire or make? thanks

Looks like a lot of work and mess! Headed to your website to check out the cost! :-)

Thanks Gabe. Just ordered my Discus from you yesterday and looking forward to getting back into the hobby. I made beef heart fish food my self 20 years ago. Just beef heart and romaine lettuce. They loved it. I may try my hands at this recipe once my new babies are settled in. Question for you though, I have bought all kinds of dry food for them already including tetra flake and bits and three different Discus pellets from Sena (I think the company is, was highly reviewed online). What is the best way to get my new fish to try eating that in the interim so they don't freak out going from what you feed to the dry foods I'll be feeding them?

Hi jack can you please let me know what type of vitamins you were giving and how do i buy??

Hi Gabe You mention you use 6 multivitamins could you say which ones exactly? Also if you could use liquid fish vitamins like vitachem how much do you add to this recipe? Also could you use chicken heart to replace cow heart? Any advice appreciated. Thx.

Awesome video, will this recipe work for Altum Angels also?

great as always. Is this recipe good for angelfish?

So I did all this, and when I put it in the tank, it makes a huge dark mess, like the beef heart is just dissolving everywhere. It's like putting frozen mud in my tank. I did use shrimp pellets that I was using for feeding my ground fish for the binder as I had no krill meal, but otherwise did as outlined. Clearly I need a better binder, but I fear even with one this beef heart would just leach all over into the water.

these vitamines are that the one I normally take for my health, the same kind for humans?

what multivitamins do you use?

Podrías hacer este vídeo en Español, siempre agradecido por compartir tu tiempo y conocimientos.

if im gonna use flakes as a substitute for krill meal how much flakes should i use and what brand would u recommend?

Hi Gabe, Great video sir. I am interested in making this recipe. Can you please advise on which vitamins you use? Thanks

hello! Ace vid.... can i please ask what exact vitamins you use or recomend i use in the UK as i want to make sure i get the best ones i can. Regards... Jake

It is ironic because Discus do not eat beef hearts in the wild. I make my dog and fish food myself. Jack's recipe is by far the easiest to follow.

gabe please can you tel me does the salmon have to have any bones that may be in it removed before it goes into the grinder ? Paul from the uk

Hello Gabe, I hope you are fine. My friend and I listened to some of your video and we notice you don't like to feed blood worm to discus because it cause problems. So our question please does frozen blood worm also make problems? Or did you mean life blood worm? Please safe our discus we wait your answer. Thanks and stay safe .

Do you sell to any retail stores? The cost of shipping is killing me. I'm going to try to get my neighbor to pick me up some next time he goes to Miami, lol!

Very nice.. I made the food same like what you recommended except the Vitamin liquid.. The babies have grown very nicely and are healthy.. Now it's almost 10weeks old, I am eagerly waiting for the babies to show the colour.. My question is any specific colour enacher is to be added inside the BHM.. If any recommendations please do share.. thanks in advance.

Could common goldfish eat this? They are 1.5 years old. Or is this diet mostly for carnivores?

thank you so much, what is that powder??( getting hard that mixture)

Hello mr Posada, can you tell me why you are not using mussel mix. Is beef heart better ?

Is it ok to sun dry it sir gabe and what are the vitamins you were using? Regards from the philippines

Do you leave the valves/arteries in with the meat or cut that out with the fat?

Thoughts on adding spirulina... Any problem.adding spirulina with garlic??

Which Vitamins are those Gabe? Btw I've learned a lot with your videos! :)

hi Jack multi vitamins in a capsule form or can you buy it loose. Cheers

Hi Gabe, thanks for the informative video, how much garlic did you add ? Fresh or powdered? Thsnks

Hello Sir.. I love your work.. I have 3 pairs of discus.. I want to make this food.. but beef heart isn't allowed at my place.. is it Ok if I take Goat Heart? If yes.. how much garlic and spinach to be added in 2 goat hearts.? Plz guide

Hello nice video but Is there an alternative to Krill ? i am from germany and I finally found it but it is so expensive . That's man

Lots of breeders using mussel mix. What you think about it ?

Sir , sorry for my English but I couldn't understand what you add to made beff heart stick together ? Thank you

Hi Jack, what was the other Searle used with heart which makes heart jam in consistency

why spinach though? what about the oxalates?
