Snowy's gar questions

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Okay next question: since it appears I wont be feeding as much krill as I first thought, what is different color enhancing fish food(bee pollen, blood meal, color enhancing flakes/pellets, spirulina, marine algae etc.) that would promote bright red/orange color in a gars fins? I wasn't sure if this should go here or in my red-finned longnose thread but I guess I'll keep it here. Also, what in everyones opinion, is the best kind of color enhancer, besides krill and particularly prepared foods.

Thanks!:)

P.S. does anyone have any pics of a longnose(or other gar for that matter) with orange fins:confused:

Oh to add to this question, do specific types of carotenes affect orange colors in gar fins and do others affect more red coloration, and if so, what are some foods that encourage one or the other.

Thanks!:)

P.S.:feedback::help2:
 
There was just a big thread debating about the different color fins of gars. It's probably right on the first page somewhere...

exactly. and also agree with Richard.

what we know about gar color enhancement was all stated in the other thread. seriously, one can tie a lot of this together with common sense and no need for redundant, repetitive, and borderline asinine questions.

i realize if we don't want to respond, we don't have to, but this is getting somewhat ridiculous. most, if not ALL, of your questions can be answered by reading through previous threads here, primarily on AP, and then using some common(?) sense--

I'm amazed at the patience people have shown in this thread. :headbang2
