backing

sweet thanks I will have to try this it sounds like the background would be a lot more visable and brighter this way and probabally add mo depth. Thanks.

It definately adds more depth and color. Have you ever spilled a little water behind you background so some of it clung to the glass? It is really quite an easy trick to make your tank look a lot better.

i just put black paint on the back of my tank which makes the colors of the fish much brighter

I got a few yards each of navy blue and black fabric from walmart and hung it behind my tanks, looks good and is easier than painting.

I use a black background, I think it adds more depth and brings out the colors in many fish. Your cichlids may look a little washed out against a white wall.
