What color sand looks best for rays?

[CichlidAddict]

The title pretty much sums it up. I'm going to eventually get a larger tank so I can keep rays - multiple types.
The background of the tank will be black.
Would black sand or white sand look better and make the rays "pop" out at the viewer?

mine are on a light coloured sand but the fish are dark, if the fish maybe lihghter in colour a darker would be better but thats only me LOL

Seems like most people here like lighter colored substrate for rays. I personally like black.

Black...IMO boosts and makes the color of the ray stand out more.

depends on the kind of ray

i have my retic over white. it looks good, i picked up 2 new tanks(perfect rays dimensions) and they are gonna be different.......i am thinking natural sand, and maybe a mix of black and white in the other.


thats a while until i get them stocked and ready
