  • What color to paint my background?

    About to set up another tank for my canary cheeks, polli bulu point, and hopefully Cyp micro Kirza blacks. I know the canary cheek and cyps will look good with black background but not sure about the polli. What do you think?

    I notice a black background/substrate makes fish look darker.

      Yeah I like the canary cheeks getting dark. Not sure how it would affect the pollis. Might just sell the pollis and get something else that's also dark

                  Guess it depends on you, I like the darker look overall.

                  The rainbow variants pop out with a blue background.

                      ok with our jokes. yes, i agree blue or black would be a good background. make a rusty brown to give it a rock look. like those fake backgrounds.

                          Hahahaha good luck with that.

                          I'm partial to black, but after seeing all of Sunny's setups, I have to say that with trophs I think I like that bright blue color better. Especially since it reflects shimmer from the LEDs off the back wall, and black doesn't.
