Default What affects color of polka dots?

Recently my 11inch bdleo is turning quite yellowish. Used to be white when it 1st arrive. Diet is mp, sotong & small amt of Hikari pellets. Ph is abt 6-7.

Sifus & ray breeders, kindly share yr views on this. What affects the whiteness of the dots on P13 rays? Besides genes, how abt the kind of food & ph of the water? How to make the dots become whiter?

Is it possible ray is more than bdleo thus spots turning yellow?

Or diet such as mp n pellets has effects on the Colour?

I'm doing that. Now mainly sotong. Tried fish like kuning but find it very messy as bits of fish meat float around.
