Currently im using a white really fine sand in my tank with 1 Jack Dempsey (3 1/2 inches) and a few bottom feeders, i notice he tends to turn a yellowish color like hes trying to blend in with it and i heard if you use Black sand he will probably try to blend in more with that making him a dark brown (which is the color i want him) anyone know if this is true before i go buy bags of sand? lol any opinions would be great!
best type of sand for a Jack Dempsey??

I've got black beauty mixed with my white sand, and I think it looks good. All fish in that tank always have really good color. In my tank with my EBJD, I have blue and white mixed gravel, and he is always VERY blue. I know a lot of people on here think colored gravel is lame, but I don't care. It works for me.
In my BGJD pair's tank I have a tanish/brown colored gravel. In my EBJD and BGJD grow out tank I have pool filter sand. I love the PFS and feel like it makes all of my fish's colors stand out. My EBJD is super blue in this tank with the pfs.
