Coloration of your fish

[Guest]

Starting this topic to share what are the ways you have tried to enhance the color of your fish especially angel fish ?

I am currently trying our frozen food mix with spirulina, cyclopeeze and Vitamin C from kent marine to bring out its color but still awaiting to see result. For dry food i am feeding Dainichi pallets.

so far the best results i had came when i swapped from pellets to an all frozen diet (mysis, brine, cyclopeeze, diy food etc)

not related to feeding but i feel that fishes colour up more with respect to its environment. the more settled and suitable the tank is the better the colour will be. i find this true for many fishes like wrasses, angels or damsels. i had one damsel which only showed its true colours when i took out the other fishes and it became the king of the tank.

Lower temperature will allow the fishes to have brighter color...

I've tried using Tetra Color Bit and Flakes. Seen results in just a matter of weeks. They don't sink in to the bottom as well unlike other fish foods.

Base on observation by the 2 brothers, light blue makes the fishes more radiant and less dull compared to a black back drop. Anyway back to topic, i feed my angels with pellets coated with spirulina powder and also i let them peck on my tank glass that is covered with algae.

Fish solution seems to be effective for me.

Feed the fish with food that contains high levels of carotenoids. Such foods include cyclopeeze, arcti-pods. There are some pellets that are formulated with such carotenoids in high amounts like Fauna Marin Marine Base Color / Marine Soft Shrimp. Henry of Marinelife also has a range of frozen food that has high inclusion levels of carotenoids to bring out the color of your fish.
