I feed my fahaka puffer primarily shell-on shrimp with the occasional freeze-dried krill or frozen mussel...and I still supplement with the vita-chem.....not that that's a really varied diet, but it can't hurt to add the vitamins............ right?

I guess I could try that vita-chem but there's nothing wrong with his appetite, he's just a picky eater. I'm trying to get him to eat more of a variety so he can catch up to his tankmates.

Kiovo, I think your discus has stunted and won't reach adult size. I've had this happen before. Some discus simply never grow despite our best efforts on their behalf. I had one out a group of juvies I raised several years ago that never got over three inches TL. It ate when it wanted and was not bullied by the others...just never got big like they did. She was still a member of the school, albeit a shy one.
