Changing from Frozen To Dried

[sniper-sam]

I'm trying to get my Discus to eat dried food but they just don't seem to interested.
Its been about 3 days now with not much luck, do I just need to keep at at or will they end up starving to death?

It's most likely that they are not used to looking up and taking food from the surface and the texture the texture might also be putting them off. What is the "food" you're talking about? Try soaking the food so when you put it in the tank it sinks like the frozen food did, you could also smash up a piece of garlic and let the food soak in that for a while might get them to hold onto it. Discus can be fussy but you should be able to convert them, stick to it and don't give them anything else. Provided they are healthy in all other respects they wouln't starve to death as long as food is provided they will eventually eat. Good luck.

I guess my Discus are just fat azzes cause they have never been picky. I feed them a mixture of flake, frozen, and dried and they never have any issues. There are other fish in the tank also, so I guess they figure if they are eating it, so can the Disucs...

Try not feeding them for a day………

just keep at it, they'll eventually eat whatever you throw at them...they just have to get used to it
