How to get a colourful fire eel?

I saw this especially colourful fire eel on youtube:

The other fire eels on youtube seem much, much drabber in colour. Why is this? Is it more to do with genetics? Or does it have to do with habitat, lighting, temperature, water chemistry and quality, diet, absence or presence of tankmates, etc?

I personally think that Juvies look more colorful than adults.

they lose alot of the color as they mature, liekly genetics and feeding pink foods like krill bring out the color while they have it. mine also had really nice colors as juvies with nightcrawlers.. so yes... good husbandry.

Photoshop. I reckon the plant leaves shouldn't be that green either
And (small) shrimp & crays with shell-on, maybe live. Apparently cockroaches & crickets & shelled bugs can also be helpful, if the eel will take them.

Youtube does have a video editing feature that allows you to crank up the saturation (intensity) of your video's color. Combine that with increased Contrast, and you can easily blow out the saturation of a picture.
