EDIT check my prof picture, thats my biggest one, and hes getting more color every day

yes, its exciting to see that they have more and more colour every day. my biggest one is just starting to get a bit of a red head now
as to feeding, they take kens 2mm growth pellets, kens moist krill bits, and tetra colorbits as staple. also eating cucumber, peas, watermelon, tomatoes, and occasionally bloodworms/beefheart
