Great to know! May I ask how to use paprika? Never heard of this, just sprinkle like flakes? I’m almost out of my fluval flakes, maybe OMEGA ONE next timeOhio Mark said:I believe they do work. I've also used plain old paprika. It seems to me I had heard that paprika is an ingredient in some color-enhancing flakes. I use "Omega One Natural Protein Super Color" flakes a lot. It says they are made with "fresh seafood" and it does smell salmon-y. Oddly enough, my fish didn't care for it at first, but now they really go for it. I guess they just had to adjust to it.

Thanks Mark....Ohio Mark said:I just sprinkle paprika on the water as though I were feeding very fine flakes.
If you start looking brighter in color, Guanchy, we'll know why -- paprika.
I knew that paprika was good for fish, but is it safe for bettas specifically?Ohio Mark said:I just sprinkle paprika on the water as though I were feeding very fine flakes.

I have never tried feeding it to bettas, so I'm not sure.Fanatic said:I knew that paprika was good for fish, but is it safe for bettas specifically?
Hmm, certainly not up for a science experiment today, will have to check some sources.Ohio Mark said:I have never tried feeding it to bettas, so I'm not sure.
I have fed it to all of my fish, so I would assume it's okay for bettas... but I'd feel better if someone else weighed in.Fanatic said:Hmm, certainly not up for a science experiment today, will have to check some sources.
It seems like some brands add paprika to food for bettas, so I don't know why it WOULDN'T be safe? ()Fanatic said:Hmm, certainly not up for a science experiment today, will have to check some sources.
