Just curious, will massivore change the color of a Leo's spots (or any black/white ray)? I have seen a few Asian hybrids fed massivore that had yellowish almost orange spots, but being hybrids I wasn't sure if it was in their blood or from the food.

What if carrots were the main part of your diet?

Actually if you eat too many carrots your palms and skin, will turn yellowish/ orange. Too much beta carotene will do this in people. As for the rays I can not answer that.

I was going to say the beta carotene can actually change your color https://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/supplement/betacarotene

that being said my only rays ive had were a couple henlei with a diet of massivore and frozen and fresh fish and they had some of the whitest spots ive seen on hens so no I dont think thats causing rays spots to discolor

If your sole food was carrot nothing else then yes I think it could change skin colour but massivore isn't just one ingredient so probably won't change skin colour I'm no scientist do don't know for sure

I know hikari does have colour enhancers in some foods but they are enhancers not changers
