I had a thought, and I'm wondering if anyone has any data. If a person were to feed their feeders, such as worms, shrimp, etc, with red algae, like those color enhancing fish flake foods, would the axolotl consuming thesel, if leucistic, or albino, turn bright pink?
Or would carrots have the same effect, but with orange? The pigments in these foods don't really break down, and are readily absorbed into the bloodstream.
Flamingos are not pink, they are white, and if fed a diet containing none of the shrimp that consume red algae, they go back to being white. Has anyone ever tried this?
