Which nano fish look great with white sand?

Pygmy, Hastatus, or Habrosus cory catfish love to forage in white sand! Their black/white colorations also match the lighter colored substrates really well. They will not only look great in a white substrate, but will also thrive well with fine, white sand.

More colorful nano fish species like Endlers, Boraras, Sundadanio, Green Neon Tetras, CPDs, Emerald Dwarf Danios, Badis, etc. like darker substrates/backgrounds so they feel less skittish and will show their colors better.

I'm looking forward to your new nano tanks!

Cory catfish species love sand!

Really!!! I love those little corydoras and had no idea that they like white sand! Thanks for the suggestion.

Geealexg, your nano tanks are stunning. You clearly have a green thumb!

Chilis will go really bright red with plant cover. Endlers are colourful, lively and not shy at all.

Lovely, Jasmine!!!

Thanks, Atom. I used to have some chilis that went bright red, but they were on a darker substrate (well planted). I think it was my 12 gallon Eclipse, which for some reason was great for plants. I'm glad to know that chilis would look good with white sand. They are a very tiny fish -- very suitable to a smaller tank.
