Put in a fish with her fry, the rest is wallpaper.
Go to Members Fish Pictures and you'll see some pics there of really nice tanks. Check them out and it will give you some good ideas.

yep check out the members section.
Usually a good bet.
1) natural colors.
2) contrast
3) when in doubt a solid black, dark blue, or light blue back ground. Pictures tend to look dumb.
4) Generally sloping substrate low in fron to high in back.
5) And like any art, a good balance of neggative to positive space.
6) a damn good camera and a tripod is a must for showing off the tanks
(but that is a sepperate topic.

Im confused too. The way I understand it Adrinal said that black looked good then Kevin said no black looks good. WOW Im really confused
Anyway back to the question. I dont personally care to much for very unatural colors. For Example neon blue rocks and bright purple and orange plants. I agree about the background either a solid color or a picture that imitates a wall of Rocks without any pictures of plants. I chose white gravel and dark to light green plants and a few plants that have a are brown and kinda have a red or orange hue to them. I think it depends on your taste. The only thing I think every one agrees with is healthy fish.
Also, Im not a big fan of novelty ornaments like Frogs with signs that say "No Fishing" Or a diver with bubbles coming from him. Sometimes I like them, sometimes I think it looks silly. I did see a huge shipwreck ornament at my petshop and I think I have saw it online before. I really liked it. But I dont like the smaller ones cause it seems a little too out of proportion. If I had $100 dollors to waste I would buy it. but i dont

Just so you know I am confused too...
My personal oppinion (for the record)
black = good
blue = good
picture = Yugo
Now that you mention it a pic of rock can look good, I have one on my breed out tank next time I need it I will practice with swapping... I am still guessing that a solid color will look better, just because it keeps the focus on the stuff in the tank, rather than distracting they eye out of the tank.
