What is recommended to feed koi angelfish to keep/enhance their orange coloring? I have some Tetra brand Color plus flakes, what else can I /should I feed them that is high in carotene?
Agreed. Spirulina is as well an amazing color enhancer. Too bad some very reputable food companies don't use themI was recommended to use some Frozen Spirulina Brine Shrimp when i bought some white and black marbled angels. They were juvies at the time. I'm not quite sure if the food was directly responsible or by how much, but these angels developed some intense color soon after i started feeding them the spirulina. I swear there's so much color in them now, they look like koi.
That's really cool!Thanks guys, I'll give those a try. Just picked up four small koi yesterday, drove to Lansing to a cool LFS that breeds their own angelfish. They are a little pale in color now but adjusting well so far, very excited to finally have them. I have a trio of swordtails as well, hoping they might provide some fry for them
