Description
Discus are the most demanding fish in most freshwater rooms, and they are picky about food in a way that few other cichlids are. Hikari Discus Bio-Gold is a premium high protein diet built around what discus actually require, rather than a general cichlid pellet that a discus may or may not accept.
The high protein content reflects how these fish grow and hold condition. Discus put on body depth slowly and lose it fast when underfed, and a thin, washed out discus is usually a feeding problem before it is a disease problem. A dedicated formula also helps with acceptance, which is half the battle with a species that will simply ignore food it does not like.
Discus are calm, deliberate feeders that take food in open water rather than racing for it, so give small amounts and let them work through it instead of tipping in one large serve. Feed one or two times a day, only what is eaten in a few minutes, and remove the rest, because discus tanks are usually run warm and warm water turns leftovers into ammonia quickly.
