Hi

I have changed my natural background for a lovely bin bag I may sound stupid but because its black you can see the neon tetras really well.
Ill get some pics now if i can.

LOL I'd like to do something similar..... have black sand/gravel, black background, a moonlight effect light with maybe blind cave fish or something... I have a huuuge urge to do that with a red betta though

I did that on my 75 gallon tank. Took a black plastic garbage bag and cut it open and taped it to the tank. It was the only thing I could find that was big enough and cheap enough. It looks really good, not one person has guessed what it is.

But was dissapointed when I realised the bin bag had " Recycled. Medway Council" plastered accross it

I'm going to try a 'Tuck-lock' bin bag, do you know them. They are really thick and durable. Less likely to pull or rip.

I'll do it when I can be arsed to
How much are regular aquarium back grounds? Anyone know?
