Just enquiring about feeding baby discus miscro worms, does anyone know any do's or dont's about this subject. I currently feed them to my baby catfish and even the adult catfish hog them down. If ok, when would you be able to supplement them into the young discus diet.

The micro worms can be fed to young discus but it has been proven that the safest most nutritional food for young growing discus is newly hatched baby brine shrimp.

I do feed mine microworms, baby brine shrimp, and grindal worms as they get a little older. All make good food for young fry.

I like to get mine onto a beefheart mix as soon as possible, so I offer that from about three weeks on.
