2025 Part 2 also Happy new year everyone who views this. 👍🏼 I’ve realized my lights have gotten dimmer over the years… maybe I should invest in some new lights.

Post in thread 'Flourite red with bichirs'

In short, yeah flourite red should have somewhat similar of an effect as garnet sand (in terms of coloring up/contrast).


if you are curious about the long answer here you go:

Whenever someone ask me “what’s the best substrate/background for my bichir?”, my answer would generally be: It depends on the individual fish.
Each fish will color up differently to their environment despite being from the same batch/parents.
Generally, if the fish is naturally lighter, you might need a darker environment to bring out the contrast. If the fish is darker, then a lighter environment may be better...
