Trying to avoid Hole in Head Disease or Lateral Line Erosion....

Aside from 20% water change once or twice a week, wondering what all you discuss keepers feed your fish and how often?

Thanks a bunch!

Like PFG says "I miss this place and all the people associated with it."

I haven't found any thing they wont eat except krill (pieces to big). A little flake, various frozen. So far if they can get in their mouth they eat it. 
With a varied diet mine have never had any problems (so far  ;D )

Since there still isn't a hard and fast key element that causes HLLE (Head & Lateral Line Erosion) or Hole in the Head disease... diet is not really necessarily the only way to avoid it.

Now, that being said, I have never had HLLE in any of my discus with large water changes (75% +) and a diet of NLS Discus, Tetra Bits and treats like frozen blood worms and beefheart soaked in garlic extract.
