The tanks matches the clown and the jag. Most pet store gravel looks liek **** against a black background in my opinions. I HATE pure white bottoms or sand bottoms. I have had both in other tanks. The rocks are not layerd very deep. If you look under the tank there is a crap ton of light coming through. It gets vacumed once a week and is a very clean tank. I dare to say cleaner then my white sand african tank.
On a side note the aro is allready dead. I have a glass covering but there is small areads by my filters and heaters and he jumped out last night. there goes 20 bucks.
