After your advice i will feed my New Yellow lab Juv's "hikari excel mini pellets", but i need a colour enhancer to add to there diet.. flake or pellets doesnt really matter,.,
can you help me find a sutible one that fits the dietry needs of the yellow labs. I have look at "tetra pro Colour" but i'm not sure if that has too much "meat" in it for the labs?

Please help

thanks

Darren.

I use a flake called "tetraMin".
IT Has vegetable extracts in it and my Cichlids love it, I also throw in a prawn, algae wafers, pellets and some other food now and then.
 
Dude, Spirulina Flakes are about the best thing out there. They are veggies, so every time you feed regular food, feed some Spirulina flake with it, and it has natural color enchancers. Noting that, i tihnk Yellow labs require somewhere around 60% of their diet to be veggies. So, feed then Spriulina Flake, and also feed them Hikari Bio Gold Cichlid Food pellets.

Isnt the GOLD for New worlds and carnivores, as its packed full of protein?

Hikari Cichlid Excel is the best for africans IMHO

Dude , my bad, i forgot that Gold is for New Worlds! I dont know what i was thinking! The Hikari Excel is debatable if you put it up againt New Life Spectrum food, as its considerd the best there is, and i know people who swear by the sutff. I would personally go for something by New Life Spectrum.
 
If you feed Hikari Cichlid Excel pellets, the white packet is for Africans... it contains Wheat Germ and Spirulina and has a picture of a peacock (or hap?? i cant remember) on the front.

The European Shrimp mix is suppose to be good for colour enhancement. I use it along with the pellets ect and have good results. My fish are has colourful as i think they can get lol... my labs are near enougth illuminous.

I thought excel only comes in white packets.

The Hikari Cichlid Gold is the counterpart that is in red/orange packages

Yer... i said that because some people see them as all named the same, just the colour packet being different like i did when i first started :S. If you tell them its the white packet... they cant go wrong lol.
