Im interested in finding out what the best food would be to be feeding severums and other africans for color. Ive been using tetra flakes for color. My severums color seems to be fading. I know waters fine once a week water changes and such. So whats a good place online to order the food in bulk.

i feed my babies live ghost shrimps, if you like to see colors that is what i would do...i am sure there are lots of food you can get but,that is what works for my Cichlids...
 
I give my fish an occasional (2 or 3 times/week) treat of Freeze dried red shrimp. Hikari also makes a more expensive food that will help colors really pop, but it's $20 a bag. But it really works well for me.
 
NLS....and you can get it from me.. LOL
 
Affirmative....

I use NLS Brands as my daily staple. Chiclid formula and H20 waffers.

I also give a little Tetra Crisps for my loaches, rainbows and barbs. The crisps are just until the Barbs and Rainbows get a little bigger, then solely NLS. I supplement with frozen a couple times a week.
