Sorry if my post seemed aggressive, it wasn't meant to be. Fish in QT are far more territorial and less tolerant of other species and especially conspecifics (it's a stressful period). Fish will react to backgrounds on main displays (I've seen some ugly head-on collisions with glass), but their environment is much more "tolerable" (established territories, not being medicated, "natural" environments, etc.). I'm not saying what you want to do is horrible by any means, just giving you the possible downsides I've experienced
Ok, listen, I took the first part of your post as being rude, (not aggressive). That was the reason for my retort. Like I stated in the opening post, I'm open to input. I did take the rest of your post into consideration, (despite the fact that the use of the background has now changed). My fish have another 2 weeks in the tank, (that is unless something changes), so the background would only be on the tank for around a week.
When I started this thread I didn't intend on getting more fish as quickly as I did. But that's how it goes. Regardless, it has been interesting to see what backgrounds appeal to others. Which is why I continued the thread instead of having a mod lock the thread.
No hard feelings.
