Q: How much should I feed my fish?

A: Overfeeding is a common problem with fish owners, regardless of how nutritious the food is. It takes roughly 16 – 24 hours for a fish to fully digest their food, so you’ll likely be fine feeding them once-a-day. As for how much, you want to feed them food that they can consume in five minutes or less. If you’re unsure, the safe bet is to underfeed. You can always feed your fish more later.

Q: How should I store it?

A: When it comes to our fish food, your best bet to maintaining maximum nutritional value is to store it in a cool location.

Q: Is this food right for my fish? 

A: As most fish owners know, the type of food provided is just as important as the amount. Our fish-food is designed to fit most diets, but it doesn’t mean it could be a fit for your fish. Consult with our team and see if our fish-food formula is right for your aquatic creature.

  4. My Discus pair have begun to spawn every week since Christmas. The eggs are fertile. As they hatch, the parents seem to fight over the babies; which then soon disappear. What should I do?

  6. Im having issues off and on by loosing fish. I have 7.6 ph tap water. I keep a 40 gallon barrel with heater and air Stone. I treat the barrel to lower ph in between weekly water changes for 40 and 90 gallon tanks. Any suggestions are welcomed.

  7. I have 2 pair of Breeding Discus. They are all in separate breeding Tank (20 Gallon). The female lay eggs almost every week. the male also ejaculates, but within a few weeks, the fertilization fails. Eggs are all white, and I am not successful. Are both male impotent? Sometimes they also eat their eggs. Can you help me ? Thx

  9. I received in the shipment of the purchase #10880 an extra package of a yellow powder that medicine is and how they are used. Excellent the fish shipped although 2 of the 4 Altums 2 of them were not the expected size 3” but very healthy and beautiful fish the super excellent and punctual packaging under the adverse weather conditions to send.

  11. Great article and very informative.
    I myself use to use 3 large canister filters in my 150 gallon xh aquarium, but maintaining 3 sun sun 704b canister filters became alot of work for me and made it hard for me to enjoy my discus I purchased from DISCUS.COM. so I took the plunge into a sump for my discus tank. 40 breeder aquarium makes a great sump…and now I definitely enjoy sitting and relaxing watching my beautiful discus…maintaining my sump is very easy and takes minutes, instead of hours cleaning several canister filters….also adds volume and is a place to add all my equipment…thank you Michael for providing such a wonderful website with loads of information and beautiful discus..

  15. I have a few questions rather than a comment.

    Would opening the shipping bag and allowing the built-up CO2 (from the trip) to escape suddenly raise the pH and make the ammonia in the water from the trip dangerous (by a sudden conversion from ammonium to ammonia due to the pH rise)?

    Would it be safer to prepare new water at the pH they are accustomed to and then open the bag and quickly transfer them to the fresh water without ammonia present?

    Also, what pH are your discus accustomed to so I may match my water to yours? Thank you, Mark, California.
