Sand substrate for Scianochromis Fryeri

[HeatherSweetness]

Ok I bought 100 pounds of sand for $5,and I want to use it for the tank. Will this be allright? I know they love to dig,I figured it would be easier for them to mess around in.

Have a look at the Pinned article in this forum by TCA, its really good and there is a section on substrates.

Hope this helps

Ah,thanks ferris.

I read it the other day and it blanked out of my memory about that part of the article.

I used the sand,washed it a billion times and put it in the tank. I actually think it looks nicer than gravel.

Glad I could help, and you're right, sand does look better than gravel. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that it's more unusual.
