-
Fishmeal & Cereal By-products: Protein-rich base for growth and energy.
-
Fish Oil: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and oils for health.

-
No Hormones or Artificial Additives: Formulated without hormones; colour enhancement comes from natural pigments and vitamin fortification, not dyes.
Key Benefits
-
Intense Colour Enhancement: Fortified with potent colour-boosting vitamins and pigments, Absolute Colour helps your fish develop richer, more vibrant hues. Consistent feeding will bring out the full spectrum of your fish’s natural colours.
-
Fast Results: Designed for rapid effect, most fish reach peak colouration after about 14 days of daily feeding. An intensive 2-week feeding cycle produces visible colour improvement in as little as two weeks, making it ideal for show or competition setups.
-
High-Protein Growth Formula: Made from premium fishmeal and nutrient-rich grains, this feed supplies ample protein and energy for robust growth and vitality. Healthy growth reinforces colour development and overall fish well-being.
-
Sinking 2mm Pellets: The small sinking pellet form ensures all fish – even bottom-feeders and larger species – can feed easily. Both surface-swimming and bottom-dwelling fish will readily consume these pellets, making it versatile for mixed-species tanks.
-
Natural & Safe: This blend is made in Australia with no added hormones or artificial colourants. It includes natural fish oils and a vitamin premix (notably Vitamin C) for immune support and general health. The hormone-free formula ensures it’s safe for delicate species and breeding setups.
-
Premium for Pond Fish: Although formulated as an aquarium staple, Absolute Colour’s high-nutrient recipe also suits ornamental pond fish. Enthusiasts use it on koi and fancy goldfish to boost scale colouration (pellets sink slowly, so larger fish can reach them). Its rich formula makes it a “premium koi food” option for vivid pond colours.
Feeding Guide
-
Intensive Colour Boost: For the first 10–14 days, feed once or twice daily. Give only as much food as your fish will eat in a few minutes. Continuous feeding during this period will accelerate colour development, with full effect by about day 14.
-
Maintenance Feeding: After the initial boost, switch to 3–4 feedings per week to maintain vibrant colouration. This keeps pigments bright without overfeeding.
-
Portion Control: Observe your fish during feeding. Only offer what they can consume quickly (remove any uneaten pellets). This prevents water fouling. Adjust the amount based on the number and size of your fish.
-
Supplement a Balanced Diet: While Absolute Colour can be used as a staple food, varying the diet (e.g. occasional flakes, spirulina wafers, or live/frozen foods) ensures complete nutrition.
FAQs
-
What fish can eat Absolute Colour 150g?
It’s suitable for virtually all freshwater ornamental fish. The formula works especially well with tropical cichlids (many hobbyists use it for African cichlids), but it’s also effective for community fish, barbs, gouramis, tetras, etc. Because it’s a sinking pellet, bottom-feeders and larger pond species like koi and goldfish can also take advantage of its nutrients. -
How do I feed Absolute Colour for best results?
Follow a two-stage feeding plan. First, feed the pellets once or twice daily for 14 days; this gives your fish a concentrated dose of colour-enhancing nutrients. After two weeks, reduce to 3–4 times per week for maintenance. Always feed only the amount your fish eat within a few minutes to avoid waste. -
Is this food floating or sinking?
Absolute Colour is a sinking pellet. This means pellets gradually sink through the water column, ensuring that even bottom-dwelling fish can eat them. -
Does it contain hormones or dyes?
No. The feed is hormone-free and contains no artificial colour dyes. Colour enhancement comes from natural pigments in the ingredients and added vitamins (like Vitamin C) that boost the fish’s own colour production. -
When will I see brighter colours?
With the recommended feeding regimen, most fish show noticeable colour improvement within 7–14 days. The manufacturer guarantees full colour development after two weeks of regular feeding. For long-term results, continue feeding a few times weekly as directed. -
What are the main ingredients in Absolute Colour?
The formula is based on fishmeal and cereal grains for protein and energy, fish oil for essential nutrients, and a vitamin/mineral premix (including Vitamin C). These ingredients provide both the building blocks for growth and the nutrients needed for vibrant colour expression.
