Feed also converts to fish poo which can affect water quality. Water turning 'dark red' is not good, so maybe you should stop feeding for a few days, and see what happens. I don't know if there's a way to have the 'red' water tested to determine exactly what it is. Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
