Well guys, i have a new question! What dry foods do you suggest?

My problem is this: My Discus love the Tetra Color Granules; but, they are turning orange!!! I feed them these granules 4 times a day via Eheim automatic feeder. Oh, and btw i love this thing, works great - keeps their bellies full all day (nice chunky lil buggers)! anyway i need suggestions for their nutrition, anything that wont turn them orange :!: . i also feed them beef heart (home made) at least 2 times a day.

so please, help me and my fish!! what dry food do you recommend?!?!

I use New Life SPECTRUM Discus Formula. The fish love it. It is hormone free and claims to enhance all the fish's colours not just red or orange.
My fish are growing nicely and are very healthy. I have no complaints about SPECTRUM.

Getting my hands on those would be nice, but i don't think it would happen easily with me living in the U.S. the food, however, looks and sounds like a hearty food. i would have trouble depicting which to buy with all the choices!! thanks hallow!

Try shrimp pellets, they sink. If the shrimp pellets are to big to fit into it's mouth then just crush it up and then feed. Feed what your fish can eat in a couple minutes...
