Point taken. I just for the life of me see peppers as to spicy. The other foods like zuchini and stuff ok. Just not sure Im read to toss peppers in on my Flowerhorn. Have you tried peppers?

I use a beefheart mixture which contains many different things. Ive never used cayenne! Fish tend not to eat things they do not like.

I know it's used to enhance the colors in red factor canary's... it's an old school "color" enhancer. I wouldn't doubt if some people use it to enhance the red color in fish. Can't for the life of me remember what is in it that does it.. but it has the same or similar make-up of the shells of shrimp/krill ( which will also bring out the natural reds ect in fish) Thing is the animal has to be predispositioned to the color... it won't turn a low quality animal into a high quality one.. but it will "shine up" a higher quality animal. Use to get customers that would make noises when their birds would "lose their color" and always the first question... if they added the pepper or paprika to their diet. not sure if it's true of fish as it is for birds.. but birds actually can't taste the "heat" in peppers. random useless fact of the day....
 
Both cayenne pepper and paprika contain xanthophylls that can be slowly converted by many fish into astaxanthin, which is the substance that MonsterMinis was attempting to recall. Agree on this being old school, there are far better forms of astaxanthin on the market, and feeding paprika/cayenne once every two weeks would have pretty much zero effect on the color of ones fish.

BTW - fish use both scent receptors & taste buds to pick up on food. :)

Can they sense spice and the heat that comes from it? Also can they sense cold or warm foods? Thx
