Alright, alright...I should not have said "we." Let me re-phrase, *I* don't like to see animals that take on unnatural colors due to color food. There is a difference between color-enhancing and color changing foods, too. Color enhancing is fine, in my opinion, but color changing is just a tad bit "weird" to me...you may or may not agree. It's like feeding your white dog a certain food and it turns red...badflash wrote: Who is "we"? I want a blue shrimp and a blue cray.
Color enhancing food is standard in tropical fish. I see it as no different than giving your dog something to make his coat nice & shiney.

Let me answer the question put forward by a shrimp friend days ago.
According to the author, the baby cherries in the ponds eat floating "eel powder" whist the adults eat sinking nutritious food. Both types are dry food. The author only mentions that nutritious food rich in vitamins is a key to success. They make dry food with a blender by themselves. So they use homemade food.

Something more :
Some Taiwan CRS keepers focus on reproduction (reproduce as many as possible) whilst some of them focus on creating top-standard CRS.
(1) Most of them suggest the use of 'Mung Tok' stones. I don't know what it is exactly in English. I can only translate the sound. The stones are not big, white in colour. They said the effect was wonderful.
(2) Some of them said we should give CRS boiled spinach just once a week instead of every day, otherwise, the white parts of the shrimps will become yellow.
