Discus Fish Food

Discus fish like to have varied diet. They are picky about their pellet food but they love have treats here and there. I give them raw chicken, raw tuna, Hard boiled Egg york, Freeze dried Tubefex, Freeze dried shrimps etc and they like all those. I don't like to give them any live food coz those can give them various illnesses and digestive problems. But pellet food must be given to Discus fish to keep them healthy and as a balanced diet. Some of good Discus food in Market are,

Hikari Discus Bio-Gold / Hikari Tropical Discus the best pellet food I have used. Discus love this Hikari  Bio-Gold food. At least mine do. It has special vitamins that make your Discus grow faster and enhances their colors. Made from a perfect blend of proteins, indispensable amino acids, necessary vitamins and select minerals. Rich in stabilized vitamin C, Hikari Tropical Discus promotes resistance to stress and immunity to infectious disease. Additionally, discus have a unique eating technique and are know to be finicky eaters.

Discus fish like this product too. Its a slow sinking pellet so they like to grab them in middle level. Another good Discus food as their main diet.
