Wow, I didn't know that about the gravel. Guess I should change my blue and green gravel, lol...
not all species of bichirs are equally affected by substrate color. since senegal doesn't have patterns, the 'contrast' issue doesn't come in, but its color could change/darken/lighten depending on the substrate.

black substrate ( fine black sand ) with black background! :headbang2

In my experience, my endlis look much better, all my fish stand out wickidly and i like it so much so, that i converted all of my tanks to Black on black! highly recommended...simple and effective..."]

Def much better than the washed out look they had on the white substrate...imo...

cheers,
e.:D

Did you use black/red gravel or sand or a combination of the two?
