Discus Tank Substrata

[tomahawk]

I was wondering if black gravel in the bottom of the tank make the aquarium look more attractive and bring out the color of the Discus's better ? I currently have white gravel, and would like to change it soon. I know bare bottom tanks are good too, but that takes away the beauty of the aquarium. Was thinking of putting a thin layer of black gravel..

I have read somewhere that color of the fishes fades or deepens based on the color of the suroundings it is in. Thus was wondering..

If anyone can provide me with better ideas or expand on my idea, would appreciate it a lot.
