I have seen similar things with delhezis also kept on dark substrate-Anne

Most fish look darker and muddier and generally not as nice on dark sand. To name a few would be most species of plecos, bichirs, and rays such as motoros...

i agree davo (well at least with bichirs since i've no experience with the others) i generally don't like the color of bichirs on black substrate, although it would seem that not all species are affected.

and btw great shots ray!
