chopped BH not fine enough for fries and they might die due to indigestion. 2 ways in preparing BH, by grinder or blender. Most commercial BH supplier use grinder. Heavy duty and for mass production. Some supplier they do double grinding, but some only grind once.

Double grinding the BH is finer but cloud the water more compare to single grinding. Of course, some of them have their own secret recipe to overcome clouding water issue. Finer BH better to your discus digestion. Better digestion less internal problem, ie internal parasite, bloated.. etc

Another method is using blender. this method produce the finest BH. But cloud the water the most. But is the best for your fish to digest. Mostly by those hobbyist prepare their own meal for discus.

Once starting feeding heart meal, you have to WC daily. The water is clean in naked eyes, but not clean for those fishes stay INSIDE the water.
