Discus older than 4 weeks old will be fed 4-5 times daily. We stop with brine and begin to introduce other foods like our Shrimp Beef Heart Mix, Bloodworms, and Flake Food. I like to offer a rotation of food throughout the day.

The advantages of prepackaged foods like flake foods and Tetra Bits are that they are readily available and well-rounded foods with vitamins and other nutrients mixed in. Just look at the ingredients on the package. Several different foods that are high in protein can be mixed into your feeding schedule. Just be careful not to add any foods that can introduce parasites or diseases such as Tubiflex worms. If you're not sure don't feed it!

Don't forget to keep up on those water changes. A minimum of 50% per day.
