Which background is best to groom a xb?

Hi to all bro and sis,

I Will be collecting my xb this coming sat but currently I yet to change the background color of my tank. I being thinking of putting up blue for 3 sides and black for the bottom. Is it OK?

My tank paste black oyama with bottom white. Cos when I got my arowana already around 12". If bottom also black the tank will be too dark imo.

I think blue is a good choice.

For a small Aro WTT if possible... then when big blue/black

I think All black will give good contrast, but blue will be more neutral... black n white will be interesting to try to keep the GHXB shine

The above GHXB has been kept in a white FGT since I got it.... I should only be putting it in a black or blue background at a later stage when it is 16 or 18 inch.... Just hope the GH maintains....

Now in Oct. after continual WTT... guess it should be better if I didn't save on the lighting..... to keep the cost down... with no tanning...

Thanks for sharing, which means it's going to be a busy weekend for me (-_-").

Imo. Side blue and a light bottom color, the likely mimicking of a lighter back with a little blueish body scale color.

All blue look nice and natural, all black good contrast but tank will look darker
