Tank's got a bunch of neon tetras and some otos. Water changes are 30% weekly, temp at 84°F. The filter's a hang-on-back, and I've got some dwarf hairgrass in there.

Starve 'em for a day, then offer it. They'll go nuts. My Discus were sketchy at first too, but now they swarm the second they see the tweezers. Tank's got some cherry barbs and a pair of rams. Water changes are 50% every 4 days, temp at 86°F. It's all about patience.

Yep, starving them for a bit works. Also, try soaking the food in garlic guard. It's like crack for Discus. My tank's got some apistos and a bunch of ember tetras. Water changes are 50% weekly, temp at 85°F. The beef heart mix is a bit messy, so be ready to siphon out the leftovers if they don't eat it all.
