fantailfan 0 Posted August 28, 2003 all, or most of the commercial foods say they will enhance the colors of a goldfish, but where can one read about the actual processes that affect color? what are the specific reasons that colors are either vibrant, or pale? the only thing i have been able to find during web searches, are advertisements for different foods, all saying they increase color and growth more than all the rest. i know that a healthy fish will have better color than one that is stressed, sick, or diseased, but in comparing two healthy fish, how would one have an edge over the other? does anyone know of a nutrient, vitamin, or a mineral, that helps the fish develop brighter than a fish with less of that same item? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
