Need Advice

I have a 125 setup with some arautus , kenyi and a albino red zebra but my fish are not getting much color i feed them omega flake and pellet. what can i do to boost up there color this is still a little new to me

Are there enough hiding spaces? Caves/rocks/

i have some rock and pipe but i might need more

you can feed them some New life spectrum thera+a and you'll be amazed on the color difference

Spirulina and brine, both natural color enhancers. Never ever use any of those 'super color' foods, they tend to be full of hormones and other nasty stuff!

Yes NLS is very good food! No hormones only the natural color enhancers.

Is it a male only tank? Some times you just need to toss a few chicks in there to get them to color up. Also try food with beta carotine (ferns suggestion :))

Pics?

Ya you need more caves in there

Where did you get them from?

he got the fish from eds pet world in homewood alabama

yeah i did but i was there when a breeder i have talked to before brought them in

try live food? lime brine shimp? or delphia?

i will thanks all

Also consider boosting alkalinity/hardness. This can sometimes improve color. Let us know what you do and what you think worked!

Spirulina and NLS brings out the colors real good.

You need to find out which species in your tank is the most dominant. Usually this will cause the fish to look pretty dim. Try separate the fish and you see the fish light up!!! Remember, stress and a poor diet is the main cause for bloat!!!! Try it out and let me know if thats what causing you fish colors to look so blah!!!!

hopefully by now your problem has been resolved. Let us know!!!
