Origin Discus Soft Pellet
Built for Discus. Nothing else.
A soft, fast sinking pellet made around what discus actually thrive on: 57.4% protein on a dry matter basis, natural astaxanthin from Antarctic krill, and low temperature processing that keeps pigments and vitamins intact.
🥩 A Cleaner Answer to Beefheart
Soft, moist and high in protein, without the prep, the freezer or the mess. Everything serious discus keepers reach for beefheart to deliver, in a clean, consistent pellet you can feed straight from the pouch.
🦐 Wild Foods Discus Rarely Get
California blackworm, Antarctic krill and Arctic Calanus zooplankton go into every single pellet. These are the rich, natural foods discus are built to eat, and the krill brings natural astaxanthin, the pigment behind deep reds and oranges.
🌡️ Low Temperature Extrusion
Most pellets are cooked hard at high heat. Ours are processed at low temperature, so the nutrients and pigments in those premium ingredients survive the journey into your tank. The result digests cleanly, which means less waste and clearer water.
🐟 Ultra Soft, Fast Sinking
Discus are slow, selective feeders, and plenty of them simply refuse hard dry food. This soft texture is taken readily by even the fussiest fish. Feed it as it comes, roll it into a ball, or press it onto the glass for a feeding spot your discus will learn to visit.

Why two columns? Soft pellets hold far more moisture than dry food, which makes the "as fed" figures look lower. The dry matter column strips the water out so you can compare like for like with any dry pellet or flake.
