I tried this new Tetra Discus crisps. Looks like multi coloured paper hole punch disc flake!

The fishes seem to love it. Good for absorbing medication and colouring I noticed.

Hi Francis,
Looks like a beauty! Good to see the flake is minimal on the colours. Would love to try them but they're not in the shops here.

Hi Stan,

Many thanks for the compliment for the above discus. That photo belongs to Forrest when he introduced the new strain
in Simply Discus. My Flamingos are not even close to that photo. Give me your address I will send some Ocean Nutrition Formula One to you as a token of our friendship.
Have a nice day :lol:


Cheers
Francis

That's very kind of you Francis, I still have 5 cans of Tetra crisps that were given to me by Jeffrey! :hura3: Thanks for the offer buddy, I appreciate it but no worries as I have a lot of dry food at the moment and will take me some time to go thru those 5 cans + JBL novobits-[good stuff if you like non colouring food-a little warm cream perhaps but nothing overt like orange or red]

Give me your address then Ha! :shys: I'll send you a tub. They fall like snowflakes. The best way is to take a pinch of flakes and dip it into the water or else it will just float around.
