interesting tid-bid on crayfish color....hmmm....

So a guy Just came and picked up a couple marbled crays from me, and I told him about a guy on here (this forum) who has bright blue marbled crays, when i asked him how he turned them blue, he said he fed them mosura... the guy who picked up the crays asked if i knew what was in it that turns them blue BECAUSE..... years ago he caught a local brown crayfish from one of our local lakes and took him home. he only had left over turtle food so thats what he fed it, the cray loved it, and guess what it turned BRIGHT BLUE........ what I want to know what is the ingredient in mosura and plain old turtle food that turns a cray blue, AND why does it do this? do you think its ok or a sign of them not tolerating a certain ingredient in this food? they guy on heres cray seems healthy and active so i doubt it....any scientists out there :huh:

Killer: That looks like blood.
Maybe Mosura uses food dye or coloring to enhance the color of the CRS?

[killer007]

yes bloody...
i think so too...
like food dye red for crs red and the shrimp eat it become more red....

[jbjack]

well, no m not sayng its as good, just must hold the same ingredient as mosura? wondering what turns them blue in these 2 partcular foods......

about that pic... it does look like dye, if it is wow, cause ths iis rght from there siite

"The high plant based content is responsible for enhancing the color of crystal red"

if ur paying that much $$ for just a food wth dye, i could go buy dyed food for $5

very nterestng.... can use that pic and send it to mosura for questonng?

[killer007]

@.@ can we do that?
cuz really i can't find any information about their ingredients....
