When dealing with fish from Lake Malawi, esp. peacocks, what foods, supplements do I need to provide for optimium color. Water conditions are on par for these fish and I add non-idized salt and epsom salt for water conditioner. Thanks for any suggestions! ,

A flake or pellet with a color enhancer will help. Also a high protein treat like brine shrimp will help too.

Oh, I forgot to mention....with Africans, if there water quality is right, and salt, vitamins and the like are present, their natural colors are brought out without any type of color enhancers. A happy fish is a beautiful fish!!!
