Colour Enhancing Foods??

[Mikeeyy]

Hey guys, umm recently i was looking for some fish foods which would bring out the colour more in my Flowerhorn, and the LFS where i got him from said they used "White Cranes Super R color enhancer" for their own FH at home and assured me it was good stuff.. So yeah i picked up a small 50g pack to try it out.. and ive only been using it for the last 3 days and in a little way i can kind of see some differences, but not enough to know if it really works. So i wanted to get some feed back on the product, because i googled the stuff and got a few people saying it makes their fish infertile (and i dont want that). So i guess what i want to know is if there is anyone else who knows of or using this product and if its good or not and if it causes your fish to become infertile. (Sorry about the life story)
Ohh actually also, if anyone knows any either natural or processed foods avaliable to bring out the colours in my FH thankyou

i would be careful with how they enhance the color, some just use natural fats and proteins, like goldfish food. but ive heard some of the cichlid foods, use hormones, which cause the fish to gain there adult coloration way too early, and transforms all the fish into males.

im not a cichlid keeper, i just say that on a video about them

Food with carotenoids supposedly bring out color.

Hikari cichlid gold has astaxanthin

google search: Most crustaceans, including shrimp, crawfish, crabs and lobster, are tinted red by accumulated astaxanthin. The coloration of fish is often due to astaxanthin; the pink flesh of a healthy wild salmon is a conspicuous example
