Food to bring out more blue?

[jasoneri]

I'm getting a group of Kitumba fry and was wondering is there a food that somebody recommends to bring out more blue/purple?  I just don't want them to lack something so down the road they will not have their natural color.

Blue flash ciprichromis should bring out the blues...lol...they eat em by the truck load in the wild

WOW!! Now that would be expensive. Maybe I can start breeding something like a blue cobra guppy as a substitute. lol

I had a couple of Frontosa's in with my Haps, they grew up on the same food I fed the haps and the blue on all of them was great, I fed New Era Red Rift pellets, Mysis shrimp and whole krill

Jokes aside Jason, I'm not sure if there is a specific food that would enhance the blue's in Cypho's but I imagine a good quality carnivore pellet with essential vitamins & minerals would do the trick, and as Ben suggested, the occasional feeding of shrimp or krill as a treat!

I fed those in the photos of this section Krill all of the time and some Hikari Cichlid Pellets as well as some freeze drill krill.

The krill will work great for me, they are going in my office tank and I run a pond store and I feed krill to the koi once and a while so I have plenty of it.

Nice job, sounds like you've got yourself a plan for blue frontosa greatness lol.

I used to have a freezer draw full of frozen brine shrimp, blood worms, krill and various other bits. Fed them this every day along with some NLS pellets. Worked well for me, I also lit the tank with a single 50/50 blue bulb that seemed to work well. Too much white washed them out a bit.

I've never fed blood worm (live or frozen) I've heard so many bad things about people who feed it to there fish.
