Live food will definitely boost growth. Start with baby brine shrimp, they're easy to hatch. My fry are in a 40-gallon, temp at 85°F, with a canister filter. Water changes 50% daily. They're much healthier since I switched.

Re: raising discus fry feeding tricks
I've had success with a mix of live and powdered food. Fry in a 50-gallon, temp at 86°F, with a HOB filter. Water changes 40% daily. They're active and growing well. What's your tank's pH?

pH should be around 6.5-7.0 for fry. I use RO water with a bit of mineral buffer. Tank is 30-gallon, temp at 85°F, with a sponge filter. Water changes 50% daily. Fry are on a mix of baby brine shrimp and microworms.

Re: raising discus fry feeding tricks
Thanks for all the advice, everyone. I'll try increasing feedings and adding microworms. My fry are about 3 weeks old, tank is 40-gallon, temp at 86°F, with a canister filter. Water changes 50% daily. Appreciate the help!
