Does anyone else use this food for their discus? I have had great experience with this food for years, it gives rb piranhas color that seems almost un natural. most fish will spit it out for a day or two, and then develope a huge appetite for it almost instantly. the discus hated it for two days, so did piranha, and so did cardinals. I have been feeding this stuff, dried bloodworms live black worms, and occasional goldfish flake(the really really cheap stuff) tetra brand i beleive.

I have been feeding them about 90% hikari for about 2 months now (since i got them) and their colors have just exploded. I have 2 sibling turqs(1-2 in), 2 turqs that are not siblings, and one red checker. I will have to post pics in a week or whenever they look to be really happy. the two sibling turqs were completly white when I got them and within a week I could already tell I have some really pretty turqs. ( they started to show what will either be green or red spts.) within a week that is!)

I love this food! it could be priced tripple what it is around here and it would still be worth its benefits)

my plecos will actually attack my discus while fighting for a pellet. my plecos are really getting agressive. I dont know what is going on with them, they even fight each other. I guess its probably the 87F getting them riled up.
