feeding for color

[vildotcom]

had a quick question. (many questions now)

im trying to get my jag to show more blue in his fins. what foods can i give? i am feeding just cichlid gold right now. im gonna start feeding krill. can i get it at a grocery store or something b/c petstore stuff is expensive. will shrimp work? i'd also like to start feeding peas. drop 'em in like pellets?

thanks in advance.

IMO NLS= new life spectrum and HBH supersoft food is the best for color and nutrition. HBH has food with supplement as well like krill, and spirilla etc. you can get is for about 4-5 bucks I think at petsmart.

This is what I feed mine...

I have always found Tetra Prima to be excellent and have always used it as a base food for my fishes diet. then i supplement with Kent ChromaPlex and Kent Carnivore pellets. also i use JMC Hi Grwoth Granules and about 15 different bottom feeder foods and about 4 different Hikari products. also i found some natural foods are good. i love using big fat Earthworms and bloodworm, Brineshrimp, Daphnia, Krill, Mussel, Cockle and Lance Fish.

i think that a variety is the best way of gettint the best out of your fish.
