Blacks fade in warmer water, hold up better in cold water. but any of the fish foods
with algae will enhance color as stated before. Ingrid

ROFL - that's a pretty funny mental image. My shubunkin, ryukin and
sarassa comets have stayed white where they're supposed to be white.
I've been feeding the shubunkin color food for a year, and the ryukin
for six months. The comets are babies that I've only had a couple
months. I suppose if a fish didn't have clean genetics, it might
accumulate pigment in undesirable places.
