I often listen to… “I have a heavily planted freshwater aquarium & think the solid blues or greens will blend in with the plants.” Don’t worry, they won’t… All of the colors are either extremely metalic or so vivid that they actually pop out on a freshwater planted aquarium background.

Other Types of Discus Fish Foods… Daphnia, needs a bit more work… search on line under raising live Daphnia for all the tricks. The easiest live food to keep is Blackworms. To raise blackworms you basically purchase the amount you need 1/2 or 1 lb portions. Place them in a rubber made container of a 12-16 inch diameter with a 4 inch height with around 2.5 inches of icy (60-75) degree de- chlorinated water. Some people keep them in the fridge, I on the other hand keep them in a icy shaded area outside. The worms will need to be rinsed off every day or so with freshwater. Dicus Fish and their Care
