Blue is just a personal choice i really like the blue, i have black in my other tanks

[moganman]

Interesting, because I think otherwise. I felt the lighter color background brings out the color of the fish better... unless you have dark, colored fish.

I Like the blue...

[moganman]

My opinion is, blue shares the attention as far as color with the fish. Black puts the attention on the fish, because black is nothing to look at. The fish swimming against a black background is awesome. To each it's own though. Tank still looks nice

Beautiful tank and fish... really nice setup! And man those guys are fast!!

[cu0ngsayz]

how big is your wet dry?

[eklikewhoa]

Nice size colony!

I prefer the light background on the rainbow sp. as well, it brings out the yellow bodies nicely. Black just makes them look muddy.
