This post sums it up completely.

Having good, healthy water helps too.

(Here's just my experience, not saying that there's any science behind it, but it seems if I have my water a little more toward the acidic side (6.0-6.4) it brings out their colors more... especially if the reduction is a result of peat or bogwood...)

I get prawns from the seafood department of my local grocery store.
Make sure you get uncooked prawns though!
(I prefer krill though... my fish have a tendency to "Unshell" the prawns... you get krill at the lfs.)
