hi sifus, im helping a friend of mine to ask, recently i gave him some microworms to cultivate as very often i see him buying those bloodworms for his discuss, so he gave it a try feeding them the microworms. The next day he told me both the discus died after feeding the microworms.

he asked whether is it possible that the worms in large amount enter its gills and caused the death

im feeling so bad now, he paid so much for his discus

Errr, he feed it to fry or adult? As far as i know, baby discus feed from parent's slime. No need to feed with microwworms as the worms are way too small.

In fact, better culture grindal worms, as it is also suitable for adult as well.

i believe they're adult (around 1 years old)

do you think by feeding them microworms is the cause of death?

Aiyyaarrrkkk!!! Microworms wayyyyyy tooooo small to be fed to 1 year old adult. doh.gif

Sometimes how you harvest the microworms would lead to water being polluted too. One year old can be fed with frozen blood worms or discus pellets.
