    Default Carophyll Pink FDBW effects on other colors fish.

    Hi guys I have a few discus red melon and snakeskin and a blue diammond.
    I came across this freeze dried black worms with added spirulina and carophyll Pink.

    Im wondering, being it a red enhancer what effects it would have on my blue diammond discus?

    Anyone here with any experience in this or know where I can find the info? Couldn't find it anywhere online besides info related to when fed to red/orange discus.

    Thanks !

    It will not affect your blue diamond. It will enhance red spectrum colors, turning yellow orange, and enhancing red, but has no effect on the blue spectrum.

    Danny is right , but if you over feed any red/orange pigmented foods (including foods with krill, salmon, and spirullina) Blue diamonds can go from light blue to a slightly darker blue, and fins and tails can get a slight yellowish tint. The real problem fish for pigmented foods are albinos and snow whites.. these take on a very distinct yellowish orange tone.


    From the offerings I sell...A better choice for fish that you do not want to bring out the reds in would be original Cubes, or my spinach combo. Though I do use the Biopigment plus (aka Carophyll Pink FDBW) on my turqs and snakeskins often as it brings out the reds and has little effect on non-reds..

    Hi, thanks for the answer.
    I was thinking of getting those with cp to complement their diet. I already have the cubes without it and was curious to see how my red and the snakeskin would look with this.
    Will likely feed them 1 or 2 days a week with the biopigment.

    I like to feed all types of food so they don't get used to only one. (Pellets,flakes frozen etc)

    So from what I get wouldn't be bad for the blue discus maybe just get a bit darker but not something like turn red haha.

    Thanks guys!
