FAQ Section (Suggested for the product page):
Q: My discus are picky and only eat frozen food. Will they eat this?
A: Yes! Hikari Discus Bio-Gold is renowned for its high palatability and is often successfully used to wean discus off live and frozen foods. Soak a pellet in tank water with a bit of their favorite frozen food to transfer the scent initially.
Q: Why is a soft, sinking pellet better for discus?
A: Discus have a unique downward-slanted mouth designed for picking food off surfaces and mid-water feeding. Hard, floating pellets can be difficult for them to eat and may cause air ingestion. The soft, sinking format is natural and easy for them.
Q: How does this food help with water quality?
A: The highly digestible formula means your discus absorb more of the nutrients and produce less solid waste. Less waste means lower nitrate levels and cleaner water between changes.
