Project Ang Kong Kong, An evaluation of the effectivenss of color enhancers Options

[goldrush]

Dear all


Project Ang Kong Kong was launched to assess the effectiveness of color enhancers in bringing about an improvement of colors in our goldfish.It took me over two months to come up with a reasonable conclusion.Color enhancers have been chided by many while others swear by them to improve fish coloration. Why the controversy?

Let me show you some positive effects of color enhancers



Single color fish should show uniform coloration without specks of concentrated red spots which may blemish an already uninteresting monotone fish





This red/white fish is fed with exclusively on astaxanthin with wheatgerm based paste food (3 meals a day)

Halo Macho

glad you can contribute further to emphasize the over usage of color enhancers.

Has your fish being kept indoor for any period within this 4 months?

My personal experience and observation is that fish kept indoor without sun that are fed color enhancers will deteriorate at a faster rate.Secondly the source of spirulina is vital in its influence .Pure cultured spirulina has a better control than poorly synthesized spirulina algae from unknown source.Generally the more expensive grade has better result without smudging than cheaper brands.
