Soothing Shrimp Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Are you feeding neos or crystals? If neos, careful on feeding too much spinach as it has astaxanthin in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyana Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 What are astaxanthins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Mostly comes from a special type of algae. Actually healthy for most animals,however for neos it works on the brownish spectrum and muddies colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citycode01 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks, it's good to know, I feed both crystal and neos. So if i feed them too much spinash are they going to become brown colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Takes a longer period of time, but yeah. Lots of people first notice it by feeding yellows too much spinach as an only option. That's when I first became curious. When I started shrimping, I fed only spinach. My yellows started turning weird colors after a while, and I pm'ed Mord. He told me to get some food for them quick. I have an idea he had never heard or seen it before, so he tried to help the best he could. I switched foods to another shrimp only food, and they got their color back after awhile. That's when I knew there was something that caused color problems and I set out to find it. heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
