Females attracted to healthy eaters

Recently I came across an article called “Females attracted to healthy eaters” from the Magazine PlanetEarth Summer 2007. If you are interested to know more about other stuff on PlanetEarth, visit http://www.nerc.ac.uk.

Below is a summary of what it was about.

“Female fish are attracted to males who have eaten antioxidants. Male sticklebacks eat brightly coloured carotenoids which contain a pigment that gives fish an attractive red throat during the breeding season. Carotenoids are also natural antioxidants which slow down the rate of aging and support a healthy immune system.”

Interesting article. So meaning if we were to feed our males with food that contain antioxidants, it might helps with the process of breeding them :D
