Vegetarian Discus?

[kkiu]

I've got a little 2 - 2.5 inch discus that doesnt seem to eat anything but nibbling the driftwood, algae, invisible food that i dont see, and the little green bits in discus dinner. Its been like this for about 2 and a bit weeks.

Is this of concern and how would i get it to eat the other foods that i feed?

I usually feed them bloow worms, colourbits, discus dinner, and brine shrimp every now and then. All the other discus eat at least one of the foods i feed them.

Im really hoping that it will eat breeders premium when i get it.

[weird]

Have you tried tofu ? :lol:

Hey guess what. Went out and got some vegetarian tablets and the little one is eating it up.

Really happy since now i at least know it is eating something.

So far it really does seem to be a vegetarian discus.

Hope it still grows just as big and fast as the others.

it probabley won't grow as quick due to the fact of limited protein in its diet

but he will make up for that with a cool personallity :wink:

Seems like peer pressure has gotten to it. Although still pecking at the driftwood and leaves, today i notice it having a go at the discus dinner (b/h mix).

Now all of the discii are getting some kind of meaty stuff. :P :P

Interesting thou, today i also go the breeders premium. The vegie one didnt fancy it at all. Even the biggest eater (a 3.5 - 4" leapord spot) didnt seem to like it. But on the other hand, the other three seem to be loving it. Maybe i always expecting too much. :?

mine hated discus premium when they first saw it, they love there tetra colour bits

getting better now, few more weeks and i think they will all be eating it fine

good to here your fish has gone to meat, you can take it for dinner at maccas now lol
