How to bring the Sumi out? Can't Post

To bring out or enhance the Hi of a koi, you can feed it with colour enhancer e.g. spirulina (spell ???) How about Sumi? Is there any food that serve this purpose?

Thanks in advance

Tony, pH plays a role in enhancing Hi or Sumi. Lower pH enhances Hi whereas higher pH enhances Sumi. Smile

Henry, yes, as hard water is usually associated with higher pH. More important is prevent pH fluctuations. Smile

Tony, nope, I don't think there's any food suppliment out there that would help develope the Sumi. Smile
