Go with sand.

 

[azn_boy AKA fish freak]

go with bright gravel or coloured gravel or bright colourful gravel

 

[Camphilophus]

bright mixed colored gravel will bring out your flowerhorns colors best

Light colored sand. When I 1st got my FH I used black sand and he turned black! It looked sort of cool but very odd. I hate gravel. Too much gunk gets caught down in it.

Sand is not a good substrate for flowerhorns. They prefer gravel so they can move it around. You'll end up getting better colors out of your fish if you use multicolored gravel too.
