Thanks nicholas76 it was def. a good day yesterday!!
Those pics were taken the same day they arrived, so I dunno if its a combo of things, today when I got home from work they seemed better, and were up towards the top of the water more, and I tried to feed them O.S.I. discus flakes, and at first they were picky, but they ate it, so Im happy they are at least eating

Will do!! Only bloodworms as a treat tho....right? I tried to feed them the flakes today, so they get used to a varied diet, and I also have some Hikari discus pellets, and im gonna get some brine shrimp tonight. They ate the bloodworms up really fast last night, and this morning, so I tried the flakes when i got home from work....will try the pellets tonight. 3 feeds a day...thats about all i can really do?
Thanks

a variety is always good!!
i personally wont feed live worm due to disease concerns but when young stick to a quality pellet and get a good beef heart into them
saying that there is nothing wrong with live or frozen brime too!

Yeah, I picked up some frozen brine shrimp last nite, and they ate a good bit of that too! I can def. tell they were mostly fed flakes and bloodworms, but Im sure they will get used to all this different stuff I have in time
I will have to pick up some beef heart, I didnt even think about it last night.....I think they like the pellets the least so far! haha
Thanks for your help

New Pics from last night....hopefully you can see in the pics, that the ocean green is getting bite marks on him....on his side, and on the top of his head above his eye. I have a thread going in the general discus questions about picking up another discus...so lemme know what you guys think. They all eat, and they all seem to chase eachother, but the ocean green gets most of it, and he is the only one showing any marks from it
Thanks...enjoy
