ZEIGLER color enhancing flake

[Jennie]

My bad, I was talking case of brine, case of bloodworms.

There's something wrong there. I just checked using Colorado zip code 80025 and it was under $10 to ship 2lbs of BS eggs, 1lb of flakes and 1/2lb of astxanthin. They had both USPS and UPS avail also.
Try it again.

OIC, lol! That's a different story.

Only 5 days feeding the flakes and nothing else. Color is really coming in good! I have to say that I am impressed with the speed in which it took for them to get a nice deep color.

[Jennie]

Eddie how much time are you giving this?? are you going to post weekly??

Forever, its their staple food now. I will also feed Mal's worms from time to time.

[Jennie]

Already convinced huh? Still want pics

[Eddie]

Yeah, it was pretty quick and the fish love it! I'm never short on pictures.

Looking good Eddie. I meant the fish. LOL

Under different lighting, do you notice an orange hue in the colour?

Nature Rose is a brand of astaxanthin that is extracted from an algae. It is pretty much unused in fish foods at this time. The reason is that 2 years ago the manufacturer discontinued making an animal food grade and now only offers it in a human grade at over $600/kilo!

My friend at the LFS gave me a small baggie of NatuRose to try with my cardinals. Unfortunately one of my dogs got to it before I did. (No, she did not turn red LOL).

So I did some reading on it to see if it was worth buying some. WOW. Natural astaxanthin is now all the rage amongst health food nuts (synthetic is not approved for human consumption). I guess it's the old supply and demand thing. If the nuts are willing to drop big $ on a product, the manufacturers are smart to shift production to meet that demand.

Yeah Tim, the fish have an orange hue. They get that color when fed foods to enhance red. I am particularly interested in the red that is in their anal and dorsal fins. I want to get the whole body that color eventually but we'll see. Dad was more brown and mom was full body red.

[Jennie]

I like that red one! Do you own those?

[Eddie]

I like that red one! Do you own those?

No no, those are the parents to my Solid Red Snakes

Thanks David! I've been out of the house for a while so no mix made up in a while. I'll probably throw some together this weekend if I can.

Take care my friend!
