[tropheuslover]

Someone told me red bishops are not true and you have to use the red color LE lights ...Is that true. what color lights are you suing payne. I have red bishops..it shows red color , bit more albino ... is the light makes the difference

I had a group of 10 adult RB's. I fed dainichi veggie deluxe, omega one super color kelp, and YFS veggie supreme. 8 were deep orangey/red, 2 were a pale peach color. No red LED's, just a white/blue diode mix like a red light.
I should mention I did not buy mine through Josiah. The adult group that his fry come from have a much stronger color than mine did, even though mine were nice. Maybe the red enhancing food was the difference, but perhaps his have better genetics than mine did...who knows for sure

Mine were nice but not as nice as the adults Josiah gets his fry from...NLS "red" is the additional food he uses that I didn't use...maybe give it a try, start a new thread, and let us know how it performs!

There will normally be some pale fish. From my experience, they have mostly been males. Lighting is definitely not part of what brought the red out in these fish. It's all in the food. Omega One Super Kelp, Dainichi Veggie FX, NLS Red, and Ken's Tropheus Lovers Flakes are what I use. I'm gonna take a video and show the color and size difference on the fry here soon.

These are mine that I purchased from Josiah...I mainly feed the NLS red along with Algae wafers and spirulina flake...Just normal cheap LED lighting...
