Great water quality, lots of space, one male of species, good filtration and current.. Along with a variety of flakes and pellets. Does the trick for me.

Ok, thanks for the advices, I would definitely try hikari because of the feedback. Do you have any suggestion on what hikari feed I can try?

I like Kensfish color flakes.

But more important is good stock and water changes.

I like F1 or F2 fish, from a reputable (i.e. not random LFS) source. I try to buy at 1-2".

Doing weekly 75% water changes isn't too much.

Water quality and good, varied foods.

NLS and San Fransico Bat Brands.

I only use NLS for best color.

The best bet is to get good fish... Sure good food helps (I use NLS, and Xtreme fish food). But getting a good fish to start of with is key.
