I thought of buying too. But my setup is not bare bottom. So i forget about beef heart as it can be quite messy.
Re: Beef heart
Hello Wong, yes, for discusOriginally Posted by wongce
. Which supermarket can I get it from? NTUC / Sheng Siong / Cold Storage?
Yah I heard that it can be pretty messy. Was thinking of making my own DIY fish food with other ingredients...not sure if it can help in reducing the mess. My tank is not bare bottom as well.
For me, i just feed my discus with frozen bloodworm.
will discus refuse to take fish food pellet anymore if they'd tried frozen bloodworm? roughly how much for these bloodworm cube and do you need water frequent change?
just bought a pack of beef heart ($7 better type) from yishun C328 today. If you want I can sell you cheaper as I am afraid it might mess my tank. Deal at sengkang/punggol.
You can put a white plate (saucer) at the bottom during feeding time so your discuss can enjoy some beefheart. But make sure to feed small morsels at a time, so messing will be minimised. Discuss have tiny mouths, so feed tiny morsels as a technique.

LIFE IS UNBEARABLE WITHOUT A FISH TANK!!!
ok just threw a piece of beef heart into my tank of 4 3" discus, to my surprise all dashed to the meat and disappeared it within seconds
I just brought in the new discus into my newly setup tank few days back and they don't really touch the food pellets, this is my first try to feed them beef heart! They really fierce hungry on it.
you mean Yishun 934? better type means having fat and veins removed is it? I am interested tell me more. Thanks!
Yishun blk934 (the HDB building).
$5 original beefheart (Essential nutrients of prawn, etc)
$6 Spirulina beefheart (Blended with 70% Spirulina, etc)
$7 Astaxanthin beefheart (Maintain and improve the natu.... etc)
i didn't see any form of fat and veins from it.
Yes, you have the right technique. A lot of hobbyists simply chuck a lot of food into the tank.ok just threw a piece of beef heart into my tank of 4 3" discus, to my surprise all dashed to the meat and disappeared it within seconds

Care must also be taken to ensure the food is properly swallowed before adding in more food, otherwise the fish will spit out the earlier food and gobble the newly added food, causing a lot of dirty mess. Fish are 'chao kuan' in this regard.
These are prepared for fish, like frozen bloodworms?
yup. vacuum packed.
Noob question, why beef heart?
Every high level question starts off somewhere noob, so it's really ok...beefheart is packed with proteins, great palatability and texture for fish, and somehow able to turn your discus into robust "bodybuilders", looking really beefed up and nicely shaped.

Many discus breeders using beef hearts because it is high in protein and speed up the growth, also can customize own receipe by adding their own secret ingredients together with the beefheart meals.
Ya not just beef heart, usually they will mix some ingredients with it. But i find it quite troublesome. I just fed them with dry pellet and frozen bloodworm.
I see, currently feeding mainly pellets and occasionally frozen bloodworm to my macrostoma pair, thinking of trying beef heart cube with Astaxanthin or Frozen krill for variety.
