Description

Fish cannot synthesise carotenoids; they have to eat them. Astaxanthin and spirulina supply the pigments that reds, oranges and yellows are built from, and a fish on a pigment-poor diet fades regardless of how good the water is.

Used as part of a rotation – not as the only food – this produces a clearly visible improvement in three to four weeks on guppies, goldfish, discus, flowerhorns and most cichlids.

Feeding guide

• Feed as one of two daily meals, alternating with a staple food.
• Colour change is gradual. Judge it at four weeks, not four days.
• The high spirulina content also suits herbivorous fish as a regular diet.
