Colour enhancing food

[RD.]

Better to just add some astaxanthin to some good quality food...

Not really, in a powder form most will end up in the water.

TherA will give you plenty of color enhancing in the red spectrum on a fish.

Ah ok I'll just stick with what I've got then and move over to ultra red once the thera has finished. I guess the ultra red is going to be better for reds than thera and can be used as their daily staple

I've looked at this before but wasn't sure what powder to get

I've been told the way to do it is to mix it in with repashy gel

Waste of money if you are feeding NLS, but feel free to give it a go. Been there, done that, decades ago.

You can buy just straight astaxanthin powder or flake and add it to better quality “staple”

Thing is I can't really be bothered with mixing powders and gels, what I was really after was a ready made pellet that's already packed with the stuff and you tell me I've already got that so I'll just carry on as I am

Can I get some thoughts on this food as a colour enhancer, mostly for reds in firemouths

What brand pellets are these? I did not seem the brand name in your post?
