Sand with bichirs

[McFall]

Although my bichirs are small 2-2.5" i want to change over to sand, i hate the way gravel looks and how the food just seeps through the cracks. I wanted to know what u guys think looks better for polys, (currently have two senegals).

Black Tahitian Moon Sand
or
PFS (Pool Filter Sand)

I love the look of a black substrate, but it also seems to make the colors of the fish pop out more too. Light/White substrates tend to make them look faded. Just my experience.

If I remember correctly, petco/petsmart tend to have it from time to time too. They're also pretty good about ordering things if you talk to a manager, if one of those is an option for you.
