Default Color enhancing fish food

Haven't been here for a while. Notice the din has died a tad.

Does anyone have any factual information or a first hand opinion about
"color enhancing" fish foods? Does it actually make those reds brighter?
Will it bring back a color that has faded? I am, of course, completely
skeptical. Plus, they are very much more expensive than the standard food.

===========================
Pond fish with faded color? My gold fish and koi were never fed any color
enhancing foods and have excellent color. Check out my website. The fish
outside are more brilliantly colored than those inside in aquariums - but I
assume you're talking about fish in ponds. Some genuine unbiased research
would be helpful.

BTW, my pond fish are fed mainly Catfish and Trout chow (about $12 per 50
lbs) and are thriving and reproducing like rabbits on it. My ponds are also
loaded with plants.
