Its up to you and what you prefer because I dont think that the dats care too much about it.

either gravel - various sizes & colour or go bare tank , and paint the bottom of tank

or try different coloured sand like black.

WHat signs indicate your datnoids hate sand?

I want to change from sand in my tank, as it gets blasted around all the time, when the tigers are chasing one another. But I'm just too lazy. :)
 
I used a CaCO3 based gravel. I cant remember what it was called, but it was marketed for african cichlids. Also, I have seen choral gravels, but I didn't want white gravel. These gravels act as great pH buffers. One less thing to worry about. I kept ATs and an ST in it and they did great.
