Description
Sera Discus Colour Granules
Sera Discus Colour Granules are a premium colour-enhancing food specifically formulated for discus fish. These gently manufactured, sinking soft granules provide highly digestible aquatic protein and natural colour-optimising ingredients to support vibrant coloration, healthy development and overall vitality.
As part of the Sera Nature range, Discus Colour Granules are produced without dyes or preservatives and are designed to meet the unique dietary needs of one of the most sensitive ornamental fish species.
Colour food designed for discus
Discus Colour Granules are suitable for all discus fish (Symphysodon spp.) and are formulated to support natural colour development without artificial additives. The sinking soft granules suit discus feeding behaviour and encourage calm, confident feeding.
With natural astaxanthin, krill and gammarus
The formula contains a high level of colour-optimising ingredients, including natural astaxanthin from Haematococcus algae (175 mg/kg of food), along with krill and gammarus. These ingredients provide natural carotenoids that enhance red, blue and orange tones in discus.
Supports health, fertility and resistance
Optimally digestible aquatic protein from high-quality sources supplies essential amino acids needed for growth, immune function and fertility. Omega fatty acids, minerals and trace elements further support disease resistance and long-term health.
Soft granules with excellent digestibility
The sinking granules quickly develop a soft, meaty consistency in water without swelling excessively or losing their shape. This is critical for discus, which have a short digestive tract and require food that is easy to process.
The stable structure of the granules helps prevent digestive stress and reduces waste.
Does not pollute aquarium water
Because the granules retain their shape and do not swell excessively, they do not cloud the water. This supports stable water quality, which is essential for discus health.
Appropriate diet for sensitive discus fish
Discus are known for being selective eaters and are often accustomed to specific foods from breeders. With gradual adaptation, Discus Colour Granules are readily accepted and can be incorporated into a balanced feeding routine.
Sera recommends combining a staple discus food with colour and growth foods to create a complete nutritional program.
Nutrition close to nature
All Sera Nature aquarium foods are developed to reflect natural dietary requirements and are free from dyes and preservatives. This ensures functional nutrition without unnecessary additives.
