Feeding a Discus: the honest notes
🐾
Feed 2–3 small high-protein meals daily (discus-specific pellets, frozen bloodworms); they graze slowly.
🐾
Adults do best slightly underfed — a lean discus is a healthy discus; a bloated one is a vet visit.
🐾
They hate sudden food changes and dirty water: consistency in food + frequent small water changes is the whole secret.
These are breed tendencies, not a prescription. For the actual amount, the calculator uses your pet's real body weight and life stage — the same veterinary formula vets use.
