      How to make my Koi fish red?

      Hi! Just curious. I've read an article that saying flamingo are pink because of their diet that filled with algae. This is due to the reason that algae contain high amount of Canthaxanthin. Apparently, canthaxanthin can turn the feather from soft grey to pink. Can I do the same to my Koi fish by feeding them with algae pallette?

      Yes. Therefore you can give your koi color-enhancing food. I guess that it contains a type av algae called spirulina.
