Where Do I Get This Tank Gravel?

[Chrs]

Do any of you know where I can order this tank gravel online? Do the major pet stores sell them?

Haha, i think this gives the illusion it is gravel because the shrimp are actually very small, I believe it might be silica sand

Any sort of Silica sand will give you a similar look and texture, I wouldn't buy any fancy sand to match the picture. You can find Silica sand in a lot places for dirt cheap 50-100lb bags for 10 bucks

What colors does silica sand come in? Can I find it in a sort of tan/white/brown mix easily? I want the colors in the first pic.

It's just natural colouring. The first pic has it under bright light and very close up, so expect it to look different when looking at your tank as a whole. It is quite light anyway though.

Silica sand is usually all earth colors your brown, tans and whites. It is very natural looking, definatly the same as in your original picture. Its not like play sand with its uniform small grains, its slightly larger in grain and a lot less uniform leading to a natural river look
