make your fish have wild color!
try feeding your blood parrot hikari chichlid gold. It brought out tons of beautiful natural colors after about a month in my pair. They have changed colors several times based on what they are eating!
also,
they usually don't live as long as an average undyed parrot
wild coloured parrots
I couldn't agree more with Mazzy,the fish are first dipped in acid to remove their slime coat, then injected with dye,many do not survive through this and the ones that do lose their colour gradually,the natural colour range from brightest orange(almost red) to the very palest cream -beautiful! The shops only sell them because of the demand,the demand is only there ,surely, because people don't know about this and if anyone out there is thinking of buying dyed fish,(often sold with candy or fruity sounding names, please dont
Colored Parrots
Just in case you are unaware the wild colors that you are asking for are not natural to the fish. The fish are put through a horrible and painful dying or tattooing process that a large portion of the fish won't survive. The orange colors that you do have are natural. Although, the other colors may be attractive to the eye the cruelty these fish endure by far out weighs the temporary( they do fade) beauty. True fish enthusiasts normally do not condone this procedure.
