| i had my trio in white sandblasting sand and they did not look as good. Black would bring out the yellow... try something like tahitian moon sand or colorquartz s grade. | |

| White goes with everything too. Since the fish is darker I was go with light sand so the fish stands out. Dark fish get lost in a dark tank. | |
