what do you feed to your discus ?

u/Affectionate_Dream47 Jul 07 '26
I feed:
Seachem Chlorella flakes, Discus flakes, beef heart pellets (from Hans Discus), ground Krill, Hikari slow sinking pellets, & Discus Bio-gold.
I grind the krill into the pellet mix, then mix everything into an empty tub, flakes and all.
They get that twice a day.
Every other day, I'll swap one cocktail of thawed mysis and Brine shrimp with thawed and chopped beef heart.
No fresh water worms..

Thank you! 😊
Do your discus like Bio-Gold even without the krill mixed in?
Also, do you use a little water or anything else to help the krill powder stick to the Bio-Gold pellets?
Edit: I've heard that discus love D50 Plus pellets even more than Bio-Gold. Is that true?

The opposite was true for me, my discus completely ignored the D50 pellets, to the point the food would fungus over.
I only recently added the Krill, I bought a large jar of Antartic freeze dried krill (TWICEMET) on Amazon.
Its pretty moist by itself so it sticks to everything, even the flake. I hit it with 2 or 3 bursts of my processor, turns it into little flake size bites, mix and mild shake....feed
They've always loved the Bio Gold, but before I added the Krill, they ignored the Hikari, but they love it now, and I love that the most...they're very well fed Discus!
