I like black sand in my tanks. I have a mix of black/white sand in my RTC tank, white in my devils tank, and white in my africans tank. When I setup a 125 for a pair of devils it will be black. When I do my 240 it will be black as well.

I have a dark brown colored gravel in my tank and a medium dark blue background and the hood lights are rarely turned on so it's pretty dim in there most of the time but my guys still show their colors nicely.

I use to use deep river. Its a dark gravel but not black. With this and a black back ground on the tank it brings out colors like crazy.

The is probably a more personal opinion sort of question, but i have noticed that black sand + nice lighting and black background = best

but this is strictly my opinion. You should look around at peoples set ups and decide for yourself.

Best of luck.

Black is the best lighter colors wash out the color of the fish

I would say natural gravel. Compination of darks and lights. I have had pbass in black background/black substrate and they just turn dark, reds and yellows diminish.

All white will fade the colors, so happy medium is a good color combination. Keep in mind lighting is key as well as this also plays a crucial role in colors.
