Hi Guys

How many times a day do you feed your adult discus (2-3 year old discus) a day?

Thanks

Twice a day, although more often if I am conditioning a pair for breeding.

If I am home, as often as they want it. When I am at work, in the morning before work, when I get home, and if they want more during the evening.

Keep them fat and happy :wink:

2-3 times aday because they are mixed with some smaller juvi's. This amount also depends on whether i'm home or not.

Mine I feed thrice a day, morning the most at around 7am, then at 2 past midday and finally at 8pm before switching off the tank lights ..

Two meaty dish's a day (be it BH/seafood mix, Brine Shrimp, Discus Dinner) = once in the morning and when i come home after work. Then about 1 hour before lights out i give a little bit of New Life Spectrum Discus Formula sinking pellets. :)

Ps. Mals Freeze dried Black worms are also used in place of the pellets sometimes. They go nuts at that stuff.
