Colour Of Eggs

[Trevor]

Hello,

Would like to ask all apisto lovers out there how come my apistos eggies are not red ? Instead they're yellowish creamed colour. I always feed them hikari frozen bw, almost 2-4times a day. So its like 1 cube for a pair everyday.

I currently have 2 pairs, a.cacutuiodes tri/dbl red. Just an update my double red male/triple red female juz spawned. He He He.

Simon thanks, I know its due to the food i feed. I already said mahz, no matter how much i pump them with frozen bloodworm, which contains high carotene. In turn the eggs will turn fire red.

But why mine...........

Bene, yr time will come soon. Its the rainy season now, do more frequent water changes. Varying the amount u change everytime, humans love variety and surprises. Fish too !!

Why don't you try feeding frozen brine shrimp instead. It has more beta carotene than bloodworms.

I've fed it to my bettas and noticed a improvement in the red compared to feeding on bloodworms.

Betta eggs also can be red ? I thought only white or yellowish cream. Thats what my frens said, i didn't bother to read up on betta eggs.

Well, thanks for the info Vican.
