The other day I stopped in at a LFS that I hadn't been to before. I saw some baby aro's in a tank and started chatting with an employee there about them. After a while, he told me something I found kind of strange. He said he used to feed his silver arowana crickets-- but not regular crickets. He would feed them kool-aid for a few weeks prior to feeding them to his aro. He claimed that this helped bring out its colors (fruit punch for red, grape for purple, lemonade for yellow, etc). I was wondering if this is legit or not. I do remember that a while back I tried coating my peacock bass's food in paprika to bring out his red colors, which worked to a certain extent, but eventually I found that switching to pellets was more effective. Is this the case here as well? Just thought it was a bit strange and wanted to share.
