I've used others but I like this one because you can crush the pellets slightly so that my cardinal tetras can fit them in their mouth. I also have dwarf gouramis, rams, and celebes rainbows, and all of their colours are intense.

I've also used the color-enhancing TetraMin and I didn't notice my fish to be any more colorful with that either... I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

T/A Mega Fish Posts: 942 Kudos: 1796 Registered: 20-Feb-2004	Thanks for the comments, everyone. After comparing the ingredients in about 5 different color foods, I decided I'd try OSI Vivid Color. Even if it doesn't help their colors, it'll give them more of a complete diet. Most of the foods I currently feed don't have Spirulina or Carotene, so the OSI food should help my fish out some how.
