He will readily take flake food but Tetra Bits will bring out his colors very nicely. He will love frozen bloodworms as will your angels and the ram. Frozen bloodworms are mosquito larvae. I only saw one discus in the tank and they do best in groups of at least five. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright
