I am just about finished setting up my new 10'x4' tank, the last item that i have to do is figure out what color sand I will be using. The tank is going to hold both peacock bass, an awarana and a handfull of black rays. Which color sand would you guys recommend using to make the fish's colors stand out the best. As of right now I am planning on using CaribSea sand in either Tahitian Moon black sand or Sun Set Gold light brown sand. Lets here what you guys would go with.

It depends on you're preference for me if I have silver fish I'll use natural colored sand like pfs for bright colored fish and fish like convicts that color up when breeding ill use black sand to bring out their color more.

Torpedo Beach and I don't know why the pictures uploaded sideways. I also have the sunset gold sand but it looks exactly the same as the play sand I have in my area in one of my tanks like 5 bucks for 50 pounds as apposed to 20-25 dollars for a 20 pound bag of the sunset gold. I used the black sand with my brackish puffers and peacock bass and it's looks pretty good also
