colorup clownsfish

[drtrash]

I have a pair of rods, just getting third strip (8 months) and starting to get some black but not real orange more of a dark yellow. They eat great, get a mix of rods food, cyclopees, artipods and spirilina flake. What else can I try to get the orange. I have another pair and they eat the same thing and they are bright red. Suggestions?

You can go to gmc and buy asathaxtin or sumtin like that to add to the food

Joyce Wilkerson talks a little bit about this in her book on breeding & raising clownfish. There are some foods that have color enhancers--I can't remember which off the top of my head, but you might want to check w/your LFS. Good luck!

I think I meant to say carotenoids.... anyhow, I agree. Joyce Wilkerson's book is a good source for this info. She mentions specific foods and supliments that can enhance different colors....

I have to check that book out, but I soaked all the food with Selcon and Garlic Extreme.
