When you are considering keeping discus, you want to feed them only the best food available and the best foods contain ingredients that are similar to what they would eat in the wild. Any type of foods such as live foods, pellets, frozen foods, and fish flakes that replicate what they would naturally consume are preferable. The four main types of discus food are: Dried Food, Worms, Brine Shrimps and Beef Heart. We carry all four types of discus food and if there is somehing that we do not carry please call and we may be able to help you.
We carry live blood worms and brine shrimps unfortunately we are unable to ship these food types. Please call our business for pickup times.
If you want to make your own beef heart fish food at home, this is a simple recipe that you might want to try.
1. Clean and remove the fatty tissue and blood vessels from the beef heart.
2. Cut the beef heart into small cubes.
3. Place the beef heart and the other ingredients into a blender and grind until finely minced.
Place the mixture in plastic bags and freeze until needed.
Break off small amounts of the frozen beef heart and offer to your fish. Do not overfeed as beef heart will quickly pollute the water.
