hey all im just wondering if it is safe to feed my discus frozen Blood worms daily? as this seems to be the only thing they like to eat, i am waiting for a order of live black worms.....

i wouldn't feed daily as the exoskeletons are hard to digest, and they dont really contain much protein or fat, maybe 2-3x a week as treat would be better.

Try to get them on to some home made beef heart mix and some dry food. I find mine will happily eat Breeders Blend flake food as well as freeze dried blackworms.

Frozen bloodworms are a great treat, but not suitable as the main food.

blood worms actually contain high protein they are a little hard to digest for younger discus but older discus digest fine
