Color of background poll

i havent pianted any of my tanks yet but for little tanks(.5-5gal) i just print out some fractals and tape on they look very cool and some of my fish have gotten mesmorized by them. i am going to get a 20-long soon and im going to have it fully planted so i thought i mite try to paint the back all camo style to help blend it all together

Well I have both black and blue in my two tanks respectively. I prefer black as it really adds depth to my tank. The 10 gallon with the blue is nice since my betta is black and blue. He just fits in.

Actually, my background is a piece of cloth (that used to be a Pirates of the Spanish Main playmat). It's kind of a mottled blue/white thing, looks good. One of these days I'll get pics up!

No paint, I actually use corkboard.

I use mirrors as my backgrounds. I get them cut to size at a local glass place.

It adds to the depth of the tank and keeps my cichlids in full color because they are always on the lookout and challenging their reflections entering their territories.

How do you put the cut piece of mirror in place and hold it there?
