Hmm, I don't really know but would sure like to find out the effects of different foods on color now that you mention it. Or are you referring to the "orange" color on the bellies of the female convicts?

SNAILS: Crush them and Remove the shells.
VEGETABLES: Steamed peas, zucchini, steamed carrots, spinach. Basically the stuff that's jam-packed with goodness. Eggplant is another good one. Never boil the veggies, removes the vitamins and minerals.

Have you tried your local recycler/freecycler etc or craigslist? those would be cheapest, other than that maybe some smaller mom and pop fish stores, they sometimes sell used tanks on behalf of customers etc...

NOT spinach - it's bad for fish.
Spinach and most other dark greens are to rich in oxalates for fish and they block calcium absorbption , some even say it strips calcium due to a fish's high metabolism.
(same holds true for reptiles and inactive elderly people)

The recycler is a website where people give stuff away free or on trade.
It's like craigslist but nothing is for sale (well last time I saw it,it was all free or trade , been a while though)
