Re: can discus eat freeze-dried food?
Freeze-dried's a no-go for me. My fish just don't dig it. They're all about frozen bloodworms and pellets. Tank's a 60-gallon, bare bottom, with a sponge filter. I feed 'em three times a day. Water changes are 25% weekly. They're doing great.

I tried freeze-dried once, and my Discus were like, 'nah.' They're way happier with frozen and pellets. My tank is 55 gallons, planted, with a canister filter. I feed 'em twice a day. Water changes are 30% weekly. They're all healthy and active.

Freeze-dried food can be a hit or miss. My Discus sometimes take it, sometimes don't. I prefer frozen bloodworms and pellets for consistency. Tank is 70 gallons, planted, with a canister filter. I feed twice a day. Water changes are 25% weekly. They're all healthy.

I'd skip the freeze-dried stuff. My Discus never really took to it. They're much happier with frozen and pellets. Tank is 65 gallons, bare bottom, with a sponge filter. I feed 'em three times a day. Water changes are 20% weekly. They're all doing well.

Freeze-dried food isn't the best for Discus. They need more nutrients than it can provide. My fish are on frozen bloodworms and pellets, and they're thriving. Tank is 80 gallons, planted, with a canister filter. I feed twice a day. Water changes are 30% weekly. They're all healthy and active.

Freeze-dried food is not recommended for Discus. They need frozen or live food for optimal health. My tank is 55 gallons, bare bottom, with a sponge filter. I feed frozen bloodworms and pellets. Water changes are 25% weekly. They're all healthy.
