Default colour enhancing food.

I was wondering, most bros out there feed their aros MP. But only adults or larger size fish can eat the MP with the shell on. The benefits of feeding with shell is that it's full of beta-carotine and calcium, hence colour enhancing. But then again, smaller fish may end up with intestinal problems as they're unable to digest the shells.

What if we freeze/dry the shells, then grind and mix it with pellets to be fed to SW and MW as a form of gut loading? Will the SW/MW be colour enhancing benefits?

In theory, it should work but practical wise, any bros out there would like to say otherwise?

All views and comments are welcome!

I think they might be able to eat some of the grinded shells, but most of it that dissolved into water will probably make your water foul. Just my opinion, havent tried before.

aro grow quite fast when they are young. just feed MP without shell till the aro is about 8" should be able to feed with shell. this is what i did

grinding the shells may as what bro sm1ie mentioned, make the water foul.

I think by putting pellet into MP is good enff? Pellet is full of all the vitamins that is require? Correct me if I am wrong.

TS may try these methods:

1. Soak the MP with aro vitamin before feeding

2. Feed color enchanting food to feeders or meal worms before feed them to aro
