I have heard of Sera Brine Shrimps and also Sera Discus Pellets, as well as Tetra Discus Flakes.. is there anything else ?
The brand really isn’t all that important as it is essentially all the same thing. Any frozen brine shrimp or bloodworms would work very well (I use San Francisco Bay brand), and even better would be their live counterparts. Your Discus may or may not eat Discus pellets (if the pellets float, they’ll usually be ignored) or flakes.
A trick I have heard of (and am in the process of trying) is soaking the food in garlic juice to supposedly make it more appetizing, and give them the additional benefit of some of the vegetable material and other good stuff in garlic (I’m working on determing what that "good stuff" is).
It sounds like you need to do a little research through some good discus sites because you’re asking WAY too many questions. (If you’ve done proper research, you won’t need to ask such basic questions)
Do research first, and if you have a question that remains unanswered, THEN you ask a question. With any species of fish, you’ll want to do AS MUCH research as possible. The more you know, the less likely you’ll have trouble later.
Here are some good sites you’ll want to read through:

Also, Google is a useful tool.
