Can I enhance color with light on my jd, or do i hav eto feed it food?
 
Feed Omega One Color food.
 
l have noticed brighter more intense colors on my fishes with lights on for extended amout of times.



Try food that contains spirulina to help bring out blues and greens, while food with carotene such as shrimps, krills, etc will help bring out yellow/orange/red colors.



Omega One Color food and Hikaris is are good brands, l have used it myself with good results. Alot of people swear by New Life Spectrum though l have never used it myself due to it;s cost.
 
A good quality food will do I use HBH and NLS exclusively. Also you can bring the fishes color out with lighting and gravel/sand color. Cichlids colors show up more when a darker substrate is used. I also use aqua glo bulbs in my tanks they have a calvin rating of 12000 which brings out reds blues etc.
 
I painted the back of my tank black and have have a red grey bottom, maybe get better lights, i feed hyrlik gold
