Tropical Discus Gran Wild

Tropical Discus Gran Wild is a slow-sinking granule food formulated specifically for wild-caught discus and other demanding species that can be difficult to transition onto prepared diets. Its soft, quickly-softening texture makes it far more readily accepted than harder pellets, and its ingredient profile is built around the nutritional complexity that wild fish genuinely require. Available in two sizes to suit different feeding regimes and stocking levels.

Algae at the Core

The formula draws on multiple algae species, each selected for distinct nutritional reasons:

• Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) — a source of unsaturated fatty acids, protein, and vitamins
• Chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris) — high in chlorophyll, which inhibits harmful bacteria in the digestive tract and helps prevent infection
• Kelp algae (Ascophyllum nodosum and Laminaria digitata) — providing macronutrients and trace elements including iodine, chromium, selenium, and iron

Colour, Condition, and Vitality

Carotenoids from krill and red pepper, alongside added astaxanthin, work to maintain and enhance natural colouration — particularly important for wild discus where colour is a direct indicator of health. The overall formula supports intensive growth, strong condition, and sustained vitality in species that are notoriously sensitive to nutritional shortfalls.

Immune Support and Detoxification

Active compounds from garlic and spirulina strengthen immune function and support the fish's ability to resist pathogens. Zeolite is included to assist with toxin elimination, while the high chlorophyll content from chlorella and spirulina provides ongoing digestive protection. This combination makes the food particularly well suited to fish in quarantine, recovering from illness, or adapting to a new environment.

Mirroring a Natural Diet

The inclusion of plant-based ingredients — algae, fruit, and krill — reflects the varied, omnivorous diet of wild discus in their natural habitat. Rather than a simplified formulation, this granule is built to replicate the nutritional breadth that wild-caught fish are accustomed to, easing the transition into captivity and reducing feeding-related stress.

Feeding

Feed in small portions several times daily, offering only what the fish will consume to maintain water quality. The granules' slow-sinking behaviour suits the mid-water feeding style typical of discus.

Tropical Discus Gran Wild is available in two sizes — choose the option that suits your feeding frequency and the scale of your setup. For keepers serious about wild-caught discus, this is a feeding staple built around how these fish actually live, not just what they'll tolerate.
