I was reading some of the posts about colour variations about Jar's and got to thinking..
I just bought a 'GOLDEN AUSTRALIA AROWANA' for $80 which arrived very yellowish[which I wasn't too impressed with, seeing as how any small Jardini I've had is yellow..] and was wondering if tank background actually affects the fish colour output? He's only 3" in a 30Gal right now, but I got to thinking.. If I covered all the tank walls in the same colour for the majority of his stay in the 30gal, would this affect his colour at all?
Background: He's in a fluorescent-lit black substrate aquarium right now, with nothing but a small piece of driftwood.
Oh, and sorry if I can't put one-and-one together from the other topics, I'm not too great when it comes to this kinda' iffy technical stuff.
Thaaaaanks.
