    honestly, never seen those before...they claim the lack of the "banding" give the red appearance? So sounds like they are deformities/misfits??

    I doubt it... those are artificially colored.. and the "DIET" my make the colors more vibrant the "diet" will not give them the color.

    agree with punk..diet won't give the color...just enhance it.
    Like I know for the blood/jellybean parrot fish there's a food to enhance there colors by o.s.i if I remember right.
