One that i found to be a good match to a clean clay bottom was Mantis Gold.

When i bought it, i looked at it and thought what a load of rubbish, that's not going to blend in but it seems to go alright. There's quite a few different brands although i can only comment on what i use, Mantis and the Sufix silt but i should think that'd look out of place.

 

Maybe some kind of clear mono or fluorocarbon. ESP Bristle filament or any other stiff mono might be ok if there are any nuisance species such as crays or poisson chat which i've heard can ruin your presentation in no time at all.

 

I'm sure you'll get loads of varying opinions on what is good and what's not.

 

Have a good holiday anyway.

Sufix Sheath skin in brown,Hydrolink in Grey or Sufix Black silt depends really on how dark the bed is.
