dry food is just to keep them alive.

its live food that gives them the nutrition to grow big and develop to their full potential.

agreed.

TS, dry food can improve colouration only thru chemical means. you can read off the food packaging. to improve strain, i believe its thru genetics? cross-breeding, out-crossing etc. i dun tink food can improve strain

u can get daphnias and brine shrimps from lfs. usually alry prepacked. brine shrimps are those small red things that keep swimming around. daphnia is the yellowish liquid. if u see carefully, u can see small dots moving around. those dots are the daphnias.
