	Suggestions for tank background
fishsage Hobbyist Tank You Daddy. Posts: 103 Kudos: 53 Votes: 16 Registered: 08-Dec-2007	Hiya, Just wondering if anyone has suggestions for a tank background that will accentuate the colour of our fish. Ie: bring out the blues. I was thinking of a straight blue background, as I don't really like the photo types. Any help is appreciated Dan 55G -5x Bosemani, 3x Emerald Cory,3x Red Rainbow, 3x Turquoise Rainbow. 20G-Empty. 10G -4x Danio 3x Cory Fry 1 Gold Mystery Snail. 10G- 1x CAE, 2x Tetra 1x ADF

Black will bring out the color and create a peaceful and relaxed, yet classy look! ~Goby PS:What kind of fish do you have? ><> ~=!Vote Today!=~ <>< -----> View My Dragons <-----

For the black backing you can use paint, vynil, even a black plastic garbage bag. Black also creates the illusion of depth (front to back) *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Using a peice of 1/4" luan plywood I have tried a bluish paint I had left over from my son's room, looks pretty good. I may try black tommorrow and see how that looks.
