I switched from live black worms to Al's freeze dried when I quit breeding Discus.  I'l buy live again if I ever decide to breed them again.  Nothing is better for the babies. I also feed Al's Diskus Gold which is a soft pellet, my Captain's Teenie Greenie, and frozen blood worms.  I like feeding mosquito larvae too, but the froggies generally beat me to them.

When I had discus in the 70s I fed live brine shrimp because I could get it, mosquito larvae sometimes and chopped earth worms. And beef heart chopped into little pieces. People fed beefheart back in the 60s. Now its Al's FDBW and frozen blood worms and frozen brine shrimp.
