Some fh don’t really start developing color until a little later, I can see some red, might not get super red but with some color enhancement food u might be able to get it to pop more.

Thanks what are the best brand or suggestion food recommend to reach red ??

Anything with a lot of spirulina or astaxanthin. I heard the Hikari red parrot food is pretty good. I personally like cz aqua product.

Get red color gravel or sand, this will let your fish show more color, also feed more krill or prawn to help red color develop
