I was going to purchase some Discus from WattleyDiscus and was going to purchase the High Body Turquoise and the Sun Merah. My question was since they're coming in at 2.5 inches I was wondering if they're eat crushed flake or frozen beefheart?

Thanks in advance,
Justin

Here are some pictures for you guys :)

Why not ask Wattley Discus what the fish are feeding on and feed them the same thing. That way you won't run into any problems getting them to eat.
 
feed eagerly to prevent stunting. 2 times a day minimum 3 times or more preferably also keep water pristine to prevent ammonia stunting. Do this and your fish will grow to look amazing.
 
you will need to around 3-4 times a day at that size. do mixtures of pellets flakes and beef hearts with bloodworms now and then

i got my panda at 2 inch and now 2 months later its roughly 3.5-4"
