Synthetic, specifically acrylic, by all means. Natural fibers tend to
rot. Use the softest, fuzziest you can find. I found a fake mohair at
WalMart that is superb mop material. I even boil to further soften and
render out any cleansers or excess dye.

*I* use dark because I often want to be able to find the eggs easily. My
rainbows don't seem to care. If in a community tank, pale colors *might*
make it harder for other fish to find and eat the eggs, IDK.
