Tetra ColorBits

[Billy]

hi all,
I got a question regarding on feeding colorbits to White Swan discus !!

Will colorbit make White Swan into pink or red colour ??

I got 2 white swan juvi last wednesday until now i think its colour is abit pinky now, it was pure white when i got them.

I hav been feeding B/h mix( with colorbit), colorbit, flakes, and frozen blood worm to them!!

So should i stop feeding it with colorbit ??

Thx

I'd switch to Tetrabit. It's basically the same stuff, same company, same packaging. Just doesn't have the red colour enhancer.

I would call Kev at SLS and ask him.

Hi

I just rang my importer.He said you should not feed any colour bits to white or yellow discus.They will loose the intense colour.

I hope this helps

The damX colourbits turn my white Swan into pink swan...and turn my golden sunrise into dark orange sunrise.......

Hi

You should really only feed beef heart,worms,brine shimp with a treat of flakes.That is to get the best colours from them.

I currently have yellows in my holding tank and i only feed them worms,bh and brine shrimp they are growing very fast and starting to show great colours.

ok so i need to stop feeding colorbits to the white swans.

Ok now i got another problem i need to separate them so that i can feed them with different food !!

thx for the advices.

No way in the world will tetra bits cause your snow white to turn pink, they already have a slight pink hue wheather they are fed it or not. What will change however is the amount of orangeish color. Check out this link at simply discus for a great example, i have seen xen's white in person and i know he does not feed any tetra bits and his white still has as much pink as a tetra fed one posted by Dan.
