I really think it depends on the fish you plan to keep.

Well like I said red tail black shark, a few rasboras, a couble loaches and possibly some tiger barbs in the future but that I'm not positive of.

Well im in the same spot not knowing what colour of subtrate to use i was thinking of mixing black and white together to make like a salt and pepper look lol what do you guys think. But not sure how that would look. So maybe i will go with carib sea instant aquarium subtrate crystal river 20lbs for $29.99 each

won't the pea gravel sink under the sand eventually at some point?

Even if they do all you need to do is stir it up. Might be good to do seeing you need to stir the sand up occasionally to prevent nitrate pockets in the sand. Maybe a 1 to 1 ratio?

A mix of black, dark brown, and maroon.

One part Black, two parts brown, one part maroon.

No but I've had black, grey, with small bits of natural red rock.

But I can imagine the mix.
