    Default Yellow discus food?

    Hey guys i was wondering what members with yellow discus feed them. I have an albino millennium gold who ive been careful to not feed stuff like tetra bits. I placed an order for hikari discus bio gold it seems good for all discus strains. I have a few discus that can use a boost in their color but i have to be careful because of the albino gold and albino plat i have.

    These are the only foods that "color" up discus ive been feeding

    is that okay to feed to all my other discus too? All the discus in my tank are individual strains, probably should of thought of just keeping similar strains Its just that one yellow guy and a bunch of red and discus with mostly blue in them

    Foods with luetin. Kale, eggs, luetin from the vitamin section added to your mix.

    I've heard that anything with shrimp in it will make a fish red. Just word of mouth but I did experience my yellow discus turn orange as they matured and believe it has to be the food which did have shrimp as a primary ingredient in almost all of them (flake, pellets and frozen foods).
