Wild fish eat all day every day, usually very small amounts at a time...
however discus are very finicky...
if you give them only bloodworms for a long enough time, they can go on hunger strike 'til they get 'em again.
Their 2 favorites are live black worms & frozen bloodworms...
I don't feed either at the store...
in my opinion blackworms can cause disease
&
I happen to be allergic to bloodworms...
so I try to vary their diet with
2 or 3 flavors of flake, I like Omega Sea products...
2 or 3 flavors of granule food, Tetra bits and Sera discus color & New Life Spectrum...
and 2 or 3 flavors of frozen, Mysis Shrimp, Wattly Formula, brine shrimp, glassworms, etc.
The high heat helps keep them hungry
and more likekly to accept a variety
The frequent heavy feedings
require the frequent water changes
(Please pardon my snippiness, I mean to joke, but sometimes it sounds meaner than it's meant to be)
