I personally think color enhancing fishfood is a very expensive
way to buy buy carrots. Look at the label and it should be obvious
what the coloring ingregient is.
====================
My brilliant red and deep orange koi live in a 2000g pond that's in the sun
all day. There is always a nice green fluffy algae on the liner they love
munching on. They must be getting their color from this. They don't get
carrots or paprika unless the catfish and trout chow contains it and I
didn't see it listed as an ingredient. They also get some dry cat food as a
treat along with their fish pellets.

This also applies to my outdoor goldfish which have intense colors.
