Black gravel provides great contrast!

I swapped my natural gravel for some black. I have Neon Tetras, a couple Gold Barbs, some nice Juhlii Corys, a pair of Cherry Barbs, and two plecos, a White Spot and a Gold Nugget. I think the Gold Nugget now thinks he has camouflage because he is all over the tank. It used to hide a lot before. I also included a pic of my growing Oscar, to keep this thread semi-monster.

As soon as I saw this tank, I instantly regretted using natural gravel in some of my tanks.

Awesome gold nuget Ewurm! I have white gravel in my tank mixed with crushed shells and chunks of coral. It looks pretty nice as well.

Why do you use the coral and shells? Do you have a hardness problem?
