Product Description

NutriDiet Discus Flakes is a premium and nutritionally balanced diet formulated to meet the requirements of all discus while also working as an effective appetite stimulant. It contains only the highest quality of ingredients including fish, squid, and earthworms.

For over three decades, Seachem has been a company rooted in sound science. Our experience in the hobby and an educated staff of chemists and biologists are part of the package when you purchase Seachem products. Seachem remains as one of the few surviving independent and privately owned pet care companies. Seachem is owned and operated by hobbyists. All of our employees are hobbyists who maintain aquariums at home and at the office. Seachem itself was started because one such passionate hobbyist - Dr. Leo G. Morin (Founder) - recognized that the available solutions to aquarists problem wanting. This resulted in Seachem’s very first product: Cupraplex (today known as Cupramine). Over thirty years later Seachem is still approaching old problems in a new way.

Seachem’s philosophy is that the knowledgeable hobbyist makes the best customer. This is reflected in solid and reliable customer education and support as well as products proven in science and performance. While Seachem has grown rapidly into a national and international firm, it retains the culture of a small company and is readily available to its customers.

Takes Time!
I don’t like the way my plants deteriorated when I fed the discus beef heart flakes. The fish took time to like beef heart flakes and they took time to like this expensive $10, 3.5oz bottle of discus flakes. My pictures show 2 foods I rotate feeding my discus. They love it! They go right for it, they’re less aggressive and the water stays cleaner longer! The flakes don’t cloud the water. You can smell the garlic and other seasonings when opening the lid. It stays fresh! I used a whole bottle and I’ve started on my second bottle. It didn’t last very long but my fish are getting fat from eating it so I’m happy for them. I’m constantly looking for new foods to feed them because you never know when a shortage will happen. For now everyone seems happy with this. Everyone means all the fish in the pictures and videos I share on YouTube Tina Phillips adroit Living… too many to list. I think I need more time to see if I notice any effects of probiotics compared to the previous foods. So, I will update this review like I have with other reviews I’ve shared on Amazon. Thus far I would recommend using this green flake. I hope my fish retain their natural color.

My Discus are very picky, I kind of knew they wouldn't like this already because they like the thicker home made food I make them. So it did not work for them, it might after some effort, but they spit it out after trying it then refused to eat it again after a couple days. The Angelfish tank mates on the other hand think it is the best thing that has every graced that water.

I know it's for fish but just taste it and you too will find that the garlic and fishy flavor can't be beat.
I like to put a little in my underwear on weekends to entice the lady fish too.
Go on try some on your next salad, you will so totally want to not maybe do that.
It's fish food, yum.

This food is a hit or miss. Some days my fish like it and some days they spit it out. It leaves a lot of grease on the waters surface. I feed a large variety of foods, not sure I would go out of my way to keep this stocked. There might be better flake options out there.

Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I have had discus for over eight months and most of mine have done very well. I don't feed this all the time. I use frozen blood worms, frozen beef heart, and Hikari frozen discus as well. I couple of my discus were raised in beef heart so I tried these. I was pretty successful from the start, even my most finicky went for it. If I was to have any issue is that when I vacuum the gravel the waste is red. It does not color the water though. I have been unsuccessful with pellets and most flakes are too small.

as with any Seachem product, I'm in love with it. I bought it because i got tetra envy. My exes candy canes looked MUCH better than mine, and so he shared with me that he uses this. I bought it immediately. All of my fish LOVE it. Tetras, rasboras, danios, etc etc, everything but its intended fish that i don't actually own. BUT, my tetras look awesome, and my ex is quickly running out of reasons to think he's better than I am. Win/Win situation.

Only one of my 10 discus tried them when they were hungry, the rest wouldn't even try them. They eat frozen food still... shame because i wish i could get them on a auto feeder. Also there is too much pointless red dye that comes out into the water within a few minutes. Have to rinse them anyway. Crap. Don't buy. This container was huge, wish there were sample sizes.
