iv got some red colour cichlids coming and bean looking at trying some new colour enhancing pellets" I normaly buy hikari gold "

iv looked a dainichi pellets (look good) but are these still open/trading?

whot food you guys feeding for colour?
 
The best diet for color is one that is well balanced and varied. A high quality pellet as a staple supplemented with raw frozen worms, shrimp, krill etc. Is the best diet you can give most fish. Chemicals such as astaxanthin are said to enhance reds, but most pellets that contain it are fairly low quality. Shrimp and krill naturally contain astaxanthin, and are usually a better choice. For pellets, new life spectrum is some of the best you can buy.

He's referring to shrimp. Prawns do have a harder shell than shrimp. It really depends on what fish you are feeding. When my arowana got big enough, I would feed him whole shrimp with the shell on. Did great things for his reds, but he was 22+ inches. It would be useful if we knew what fish you were trying to feed.
