Re: Melon!
Hi,
I tried Mango (quite ripe and softish) and my snails and shrimps, soon consumed it. but not a good idea to leave it in over night perhaps.

White worms...
Hi All, Sorry if you have seen this post before, under "food for young discus". But I thought that all fish will eat and enjoy white worms, so a general food post! I was thinking that White worms would be good food for my young Discus! Not having tried them for the last 30 years or so. Bac...

Post by CactusMel » Wed Mar 04, 2020 15:58 pm Hi All, I was thinking that White worms would be good food for the Discus! Not having tried them for the last 30 years or so. In those days I think we feed them on bread (White) dipped in milk, but thinks seem to have changed now. One chap on youtube has...

Re: Food for very young Discus...
Hi Pleco...
I thought if I pre-soak them, they might sink, but for £2.20 it's no big deal. How do you feed your Black worms? I know they are in blocks, but does it sink? when dry. The same with granules, I wanted to try something cheap before spending £12 or so....

Re: Food for very young Discus...
Hi Ginger... Yes I was thinking that myself! It would just be too dry and perhaps hard for them. I'm thinking of trying freeze dried Bloodworm, but It seems many people are saying that there not very nutritious, compared to live worms or Daphnia, or even other foods. I do vary the diet in the day wi...

Re: Food for very young Discus...
Hi All, Well it's now a month since I got my young Discus. They are now growing well (I hope) and eating a lot better, but still mostly frozen food, can't get them to take granules, too dry, too hard, even if I pre-soak them. Don't want to buy expensive granules if their not going to take them, sure...
