Yes, quarter sized discus can eat regular foods, as long as it will fit into their small mouths. At this size, they need to eat several small meals a day (4-5). All this feeding means the water fouls quickly, and this means daily or every other day water changes to keep from stunting the fish. If you really want to see some fast growth on the little guys, feed them a beef heart mix in the morning, high protein flakes during the day, and live California Blackworms as a last feeding. It'll really put some quick growth on them.
 
ocean nutrition discus formula is also good for baby/juvies discus helps them grow big fast.
