I'm looking for the best (most drastic) color enhancing flake foods. I've seen small Aulonocara Peacocks show a lot of color at a rather small size. Now, I've heard pro's and con's, and right now I'm not necessarily concerned with any con's (i.e. females showing colors...) as this is just a display tank, and not one of my breeding tanks.
Thanks for your help. By the way, this is my first post here, I am looking forward to becoming part of a good community. Chris |

To create the best natural colors you need to feed a good healthy mix of foods and keep the water as healthy as possible. This will give your fish a much longer life and better colors than using a treated food of one tipe for extended periods of time.

I use Omega One flakes and all my fish have excellent color. The stuff is so good that when I got my nickel sized baby angels, the breeder told me that the color enhancing flakes would be fine as a staple flake for them. Of course I feed my fish other things like bloodworms, tubifex cubes, daphnia, veggie rounds, veggie flakes, etc. Find a good flake as your staple, and then supplement with other goodies.
