Super Red Bristle Nose Plecos

Yes Spectrum pellets.

You mean Spectrum pellets?

I feed them spectrum that has krill in it that helps the color and algae disks.No real color food.

What do you feed them? Any color enhancing food?

They are a line breed strain and do keep there color. The parents are about two years old now and are a bright orange is the best way to describe them.

From what I understand they do keep there color. But they can morph into other secondary colors I think

Do the super reds keep their color or is it the result of feeding them color food.

I had Angels Plus Koi in a tank and I was routinely feeding them a color enhancing food. The 30 bristlenose fry turned almost as orange as an orange. Stunning. I wish it was a trait, but it diminished as soon as I moved them to another tank.

There are very few really red fish in the cichlid world. Of course, Red is used as a description a lot.

Good luck with them.
