Whats Teh Difference Between Hikari Gold And Staple?

[GShorty1981]

I have always fed my fish Hikari Gold (the red packet), today they had none in the pellet size i wanted so i bought the green packet 'Hikari Cichlid Staple' instead.
 
Whats the main difference? i'm assuming from the colour that Staple is lower protein and has more Veg in it (Better for Severums) and Gold is mainly protein (better for Oscars)
 
I'm using it to feed my 8" Male Red Spot Severum and to grow my 4 baby Sevs (2 x Rotkeil, Notatus, Gold) and my Aureus.

I use the green one. The red one says colour enhancing on the front but the green one doesn't.

Yeh i have never noticed any colour enhancements with it tho, been using it for years.

I'm going to be switching to new life spectrum when I get my african tank. I still have lots of Hikari for my Americans though first.
