I never heard of feeding cyclopeez to enhance the red, that's kind of cool, is there something natural in the food that makes this happen?

yeah i used to breed true perks .... and i needed to feed them something else besides rotifers... so i feed them cyclopeez.... they turned a nice orange red color..... so i thought i feed their BTA some cyclo too.... it went from brown to red... was kinda neat

OK, now I'm getting scared, those fish store freezers kind of freak me out to begin with, you never know what's in there lol

I feed mine light

And whatever the clowns bring back to it. And anyone who has seen my BTA can tell you that I must be doing something right
