ScottF Fish Addict Addiction Hurts!! Posts: 542 Kudos: 330 Votes: 355 Registered: 28-May-2007	Edited by scottf I bought a container of TetraColor tropical flakes, designed to enhance the coloration of tropical fish. I have been feeding my fish with it this week and I swear I've noticed a striking difference in the vivid-ness of the colors of my fish, especially the tetras and Tiger Barbs. Is this just the placebo effect, my mind playing tricks on me? Or could it be that this product really delivers more vivid color? I have worked these flakes into the rotation between freezedried krill, algae wafers, bloodworms and regular flakes.

It possibly has some good ingredients that the fish like and is good for them. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

When I first started out (some 12 years now) all I gave was flake. After a few years, I was introduced to live foods and I noticed how different everything seemed. Now I use a mixture of granules, tablets, fresh vegetables and frozen bllodwoom/mysis/krill/brineshrimp - would never use one independently again, the extra cash is ultimately worth it, without question.
