What colour background should I use for my tank? what colour stands out? Do fish not like any colours? Thanks fishboy77

How large is the tank?

What decor do you have?

Color substrate?

What do you have for fish?

Can you post a pic of the tank now?

Ok I have a 35l tank I have goldfish 1 orange normal goldfish 1 fan tail 1 black moor 4 mini mountain minnows 1 zebra diogio don't now how you spell it here's a pic

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this tank is MUCH too small for those goldfish. You should have a minimum of 40 gallons for those 3.

With your fish and decor, a black background would really make the colors pop.

Yes I'm getting a 75l next week

That will still be too small for the fish that you already have. They would need a 151 liter tank.

75l is still too small for three fancies. They need atleast a 40g or 150l. Without adequate water and room to grow, they unfortunately will become stunted.

A plain black background will make the fish really pop. I agree with the above posters. You really need a bigger tank than 75L.

My mistake- you have a common goldfish in there as well as the fancies. Commons can grow up to 18inches. He realistically needs to be in a pond or a very large tank (50+gallons).

But if you live in jolly good England I have no idea but your local classifieds would be best. Or some sort of craigslist/kijiji type site
