Discus Food
One of the primary factors in keeping your discus fish healthy is feeding them properly. In my opinion feeding your discus the regular tropical fish flakes isn't enough, I would even recommend not feeding them those flakes at all.
The only dryfood I use, when I run out of stock from my freezer, is special discus granulate. But even this 'special' discus food should not be the main food for discus fish. It is also important to feed your discus several times a day, best with different types of food. All the food I use for my discus fish, and for the other species as well, are frozen blister packages. Be sure to let them defrost before feeding them.
I give my discus Bloodworms, they like those a lot, artemia, beef heart and daphnia, and occasionally white and black mosquito larvae.
