bass coloration?

[Ph33n0m]

Ì finally got some high powered lighting to put on my PBass tank and all I have to say is wow... What a difference in color. The yellow and greens stick out so much now. I do have 1 question tho. What color substrate should I use to further enhance their colors? I took all the sand out and added a lot of driftwood to lower Ph. Tank how blue back round

glad i helped you with your lighting.... now about this.... i would go with medium dark..... that way colors can still fluxuate rather than going DARK (black) reason... it can go both ways... they can turn a solid color of your liking....... or theyre just going to be a very DARK colored fish

So you mean like the natural gravel? Or is there something else. I wanted to do the med sized river rock look as a substrate but have no. Idea where to find them... I will post before and after pics when I get home

I would do as mjunior advised. As a suggestion I would go with black pebbels mixed with natural pebbels. I recently did this at mjuniorc advise and it worked wonder's. What light did you go with?
