I'm noticing the black is fading to more silver-ish with metalic shine instead of deep black on my adult orandas, they used to be darker.
Is there anything special to do beside sunlight that could maintain the color? I'm feeding JBL sinking pellets with 10% spirulina which supposably enhances color. They eat very well and very lively and I change the water [80% every 2 days]. Also indirect sunlight is there during the day so I hope there's something to do! Thanks! |

It is more on the genes. Black fishes with good genes stays black in green water combined with Hikari Lionhead diet.
If you are not sure of your source, then it is best to avoid food with carotenoid. Of course it goes without saying to avoid food with colour enhancing properties too. Yet doing all these might still not prevent black fishes with weak black genes from fading. |
