There are different types of
discus fish foods, which mainly contains three categories: frozen food ,dry
food and live discus food. These can be further classified as slow sinking food
,sinking food and floating fish food. Since discus, fish are mostly mid water
feeders slow sinking fish food for discus is most preferred.
Different types of sinking fish food for discus
are:
Pellets: Small and mostly round shaped, pellets
are both sinking and floating. Giving dry pellets to fish can cause them to
bloat therefore soak them in water for a little while before feeding.
Granules: These are smaller forms of pellets are can be fed in the same way you feed the pellets. Flakes: Flakes come under the category of top floating food but if you pinch them a big before feeding they sink down.
Wafers and tablets: These are one of the most popular forms of sinking fish food for discus. They have a very well balanced ingredient content. Although they sink rapidly but since they are small enough to be eaten in one bite the fish eat them up quickly. Also they don't cloud the water.

Gels: These are pre-processed
slow sinking food for fish. These than be thawed, then mixed with homemade food
or other frozen food and then frozen again to feed the fish. They can be used
to give your fish a varied diet.
Slow sinking discus fish food is preferred because then the fish can reach it easily. If the fish sinks too fast then they will not be able to reach it and it will rot in the bottom and can harm the fish.

Discus fish follow a routine and therefore you have to
keep in mind to feed them at fixed times every day.
Also, since discus fish like
to follow a routine therefore feed them at regular intervals and give small
feedings at a time.
They like to eat frequently
and hence if you give them feed only once or twice a day.
Any variation from the routine
will make them confused and disrupt their system.
