Attention !! Another film, watch it at your own risk and draw your own conclusions. The author is not responsible for drawing incorrect conclusions. Any attempts to implement these rules without proper knowledge may prove dangerous for our fish. Today I will show you how the color of my fish evolves. However, it should be noted that these observations are perfectly possible thanks to the light source that I use. As more and more aquarists trust me and use this light at home, more people have the opportunity to understand what I am talking about. The yellow color, and more so the orange and red color, is very dependent on the food we feed the fish (because we are already dependent on the fish genes we have). After disappointments in using factory food, even from well-known companies, and all kinds of food, even premium food, I prepare food for my fish myself. First served as an additional food, and for a year now as the basic and only food I use (plus algae, which the fish have access to all the time). The effect... the orange and red colors of fish are enhanced visibly. this situation occurs in all fish, even in wild-caught individuals (which is shown in this video). I have already shown how in my F1 eretmodus, the wide red-orange edges of the tail and fins develop beautifully (The wild parents had none of them at all). I borrowed the feeding technique from feeding demanding fish from colorful reefs and coral fish (since I had access to such information, this environment was happy to share knowledge with me, unlike the Tanganyika environment, we all know how it works). It takes me about 3 hours to make fish food from completely natural ingredients, and it lasts me for 3 weeks. So we have to devote some of our time to them. At this stage I will not provide specific data (for obvious reasons), but I will give some tips. We know how red and orange colors develop in freshwater fish, this information is available on the Internet. The selection of ingredients depends only on us. However, this is insufficient. There are other important relationships that make fish want to show us these beautiful colors. We can read about water parameters, aquarium selection, stock selection, decoration selection and light on the Internet. I will draw your attention to two more, overlooked factors. How to improve fish immunity. I recommend a hot book here: Gerald Bassleer "The new illustrated guide to fish diseases" here you will find tips on which probiotics added to the food are beneficial. The last factor is... hormones. they influence the behavior of fish. Attention ! Healthy, well-fed fish, kept in good conditions, are themselves responsible for the production of hormones. Inadequate knowledge in additional supplementation endangers the health of fish, or at least causes male infertility
