For a fish that's supposed to be shy and not like a current. They sure do seem to like to play in the fresh water. I'm sure I could hand feed them. If I had a food that wasn't small and slimy. They act like they have never been fed before.

That thing about them not liking current is a myth.  And they will eat from your hand.  Nice video

I wasn't sure about the current thing. Just what I've heard around Facebook. I wish I had something I could hand feed them with. I'm not holding blood worms for them. And pellets just seems like it wouldn't be worth it for anyone.

Get some freeze dried black worms in small cubes from Dan.  I think that you get a discount if you mention that you're a member of this forum.  Press them on the glass.  The Discus will find them.  Once they know what they are hold a cube in your fingers and they will go for them with a passion.

Scott your discus look so happy and healthy. The video was fun to watch.  ;D
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)
