Below is totally unscientific and based on hearsay:-

It's claimed that goldish's will change its body colour to match the surronding, getting darker in colour if it's in a dark environment, or fades to a lighter shades in a bright tank.

If you subscribe to this folklore, then go for a black tank.

actually i saw a black background tank with some white fish in it. Outstanding. But the lighting must be bright enough.

Another one which i feel quite outstanding is a frosted glass surounding except the viewing side. Think that should be a customized one.

Blue background bring out the natural color of the fish.

Anyone try using those silvery aluminium foil as background ?

You can convert your existing tank to frosted glass. You can get translucent "Omaya" paper with frosted glass texture and paste it yourself. Many shops in malls have converted the glass frontage to frosted glass for privacy, simply by pasting the mentioned omaya paper.
