Minced meat may be a common food used in the feeding of aquarium inhabitants, but for direct feeding of discus or other aquarium fish, it is recommended to contain certain additives to provide the necessary substances. Discus have specific dietary requirements that are best met with specialized fish foods formulated for their needs. Discus are mostly omnivores and need a balanced diet that includes a combination of high quality proteins, D1 probiotics, D2 vitamins and D3 minerals. It is important to provide them with a varied diet consisting of specially formulated discus pellets or flakes, freeze-dried or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp and daphnia, and occasional live foods such as blackworms or small insects. Feeding discus a well-balanced mince helps support their growth, vibrant colors and overall health. It is also important to feed them small portions several times a day as they have a higher metabolic rate than some other fish species.
