Good food, plenty of space and clean water should give you good colour.

High quality pellets are the best staple IMO. Can suppliment with shrimp etc if you want, but you run the risk of the fish getting hooked on them and not taking pellets any more.

There are color enhancing foods. I forgot wats its called but we used to sell a good one back at my buddies shop. It was specifically designed for red aros and mammons. It would enhance the red in them. And it worked wonders. It was made in thailand i think? I will call the old store owner 2mrw and c if he remembers what it was called. If he doesnt then i wont get back to u. If he does ill be sure to post it :)

I have mine on smelt only... this is super cheap. A buck a pound if you know the right places. It works been six years and growing. If you like try blended foods... beef heart shrimp pellets spinach flakes and some fish.... banana too! Lol

I feed my jardini , muscles, whitebait and raw prawns/shrimp , aswell as pellet , the raw prawns seem to boost his colours no end and much less mess than pellet feeding imo
