"Young flamingos hatch with grey plumage, but adults range from light pink to bright red due to *aqueous bacteria* and *beta carotene* obtained from their food supply."
You really ought to do some fact checking on some of your questions, it's not the "fish" they eat, it's the shrimp they eat. Fishes and shrimp are quite different species.

Not only are they different species, they're different phylum altogether!
