Feeding Discus Fish

The right feeding is one of the most important things if we want to have our discus fish healthy

, beautiful and colorful. Below I will try to give you the most important feeding tips.

Discus like all other fishes needs a variety if talking about food. They need a lot of vitamins and minerals so food should be very different - from algae to the parts of animal's body.

While your discus is about 2 inches (5 centimeters) you should feed it about 5 times a day. Later when it grows up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) you can feed only two times a day. Reduce feeding times every three to five days. Don't feed your fish when you are going to turn off the lights.

Firstly, when buying the discus, you should ask the seller what type of food did he use when feeding discus fish you will find more great tips about discus fish and its feeding.. If you think that food was picked well than you should follow using it further. If you decide to change the type of food than you shouldn't do that too fast because changing food instantly can cause starvation of you discus. That can take up to one month. So you better firstly make a mix of 90% old food with 10% of new and see how your discus fish reacts. If the food fits to your discus fish than you should raise the quantity of new food up to 10% every next day until you reach the moment when it will eat only a new food. If you see that changes are going too fast - your fish isn't eating so well like before, you should make changes slower.

It is a necessity to feed your discus with some live or frozen food. I recommend you to try some of these:

-Frozen or Live Adult Brine Shrimp

-Mosquito Larvae

-Chopped up Red Worms

-Mysis Shrimp

-Glass Worms

Also don't forget to give your discus fish some pellet food. Moreover you can try giving your discus fish raw turkey or beef hearts or livers chopped in small pieces. Some people think that it is the best food to the discus.
