Currently feeding on the saki hikari fancy goldfish color enhancing.
The dark purple pack.
Wish to establish more color.

I'd feed the green saki hikari to your red cap at this young age.
It has to first build up some body mass. As for color, it will develop later as it grows. Red cap Oranda has a stable gene giving its long history.
Again, do not overfeed, perform regular water change.
Enjoy your new catch!

Thanks longyi. Keep taking videos of it swimming. Haha.

Thanks for the tip AdamC.
Will get the green one for good growth. Glad to hear the red cap have stable genes.

Oh just out of curiosity. What actually contributes to the hood growth?

It's a combination of genetics and grooming skills.
