Feeding. How much?

[sniper-sam]

Just a quick one guys.

I find the frozen cubes are the most readily available/easy found food over.
My question is how many cubes do I need for 18 growing discus per feed?
They range from about 2" to about 4"ish.
I feed 2-3 times a day.
Thanks.

18 Growing Discus...You need a LOT! Those sizes are the most important stage in their life, as far as determining how big they can grow...or at least getting them to their full potential. Poor feeding(s) will stunt your Discus. You need to make your own Beefheart mix, and save a ton of money. I feed my Discus minimum 6x a day. Is why it's always good to introduce flakes and pellets right away, so they get a variety in their diet. And dry food is very easy to feed, so you feed them more...Bill

Thanks for the reply.
I'm embarrassed to say I may have been slightly underfeeding.
So they are in for a feast tonight and every feeding time.
