Best Color of Gravel?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What's the best color gravel to make the fishes in my list's colors "pop"?

I currently have
Green terror
Firemouth
Jewel
Blood Parrot
Black convict
OB Peacock
Orange Peacock
Dragon Blood Peacock
Yellow Lab
Black haplochromis

edit: It would be most helpful if you format your response like this,

Green terror - insert gravel olor
Firemouth - insert gravel color
etc.
For everything but the rifties, dark gravel/sand will look best
For the rifties, white fine sand will look best

I use the Aztec gold in 2 of my tanks. It’s a nice dark red/brown.

What tank is this. I have the same stand. Also off topic but what’s the fish in the bottom left, kinda looks like a pacu. Actually now I look at it a bit more maybe a bala

This is the marineland 75 gallon. I like it a lot, it comes with a glass hood and a light that has both white and blue settings.
Correct that that’s a bala - really should be in a bigger tank.
