You should not keep blue, yellow with the red together feeding with red enhancing food.

Your blue may turn into purple color and your yellow may become red orange in color.

Blue , yellow and white should keep alone if you intent to feed red color enhancer.

Does anyone know what enhances yellow? I have heard Brine shrimp, bloodworms, and ColorBites will help is that true?

Even the slightest of red enhancer on yellow discus will turn them orange/red

carophyll pink enhances red

Carophyll yellow enhances yellow

Spirulina will enhance green/ blue

astaxanthin generally enhances all colors, but i would not use it on yellow as well
