This will depend on what you stock your tank with. You do not have to use any substrate at all if you choose not to unless you are going to have live plants, or if you keep rays that should have some sand to move around
If other fishes are present in your tank, then it may not be a good idea for the skin of the sand dollar will begin to rot and spoil the tank. So first remove the sand dollar dry it in the sun and clean it with bleach. Then you can decorate your fish tank with the cleaned sand dollar.
You should put in stones or sand. Also you can chuck in a live plant. xx
Simple answer is Yes but make sure it is natural sand from sandstone rather than a crushed mix or beach sand. Always wash it thoroughly before placing in an aquarium.
I have a 120 Gallon aquarium with sand. They love it.
No. Unless you put it in a tank with sand.
hi,you should never use marine sand in any freshwater tank because its is made up of crushed coral and therefore your pH value will increase which is not ideal for plants and most fish apart however you can go to argos for play sand jewson for kiln dried sand or b&q for play sand which ever one it will work out alot cheaper and look the same as it would silver sand however it will need cleaning alot more or you can use filter wool/filter floss and should clear within a day or 2 depending on turnoverAnswerAnother word for marine sand is "live sand." It's full of microorganisms and small invertebrates. None of the animals in live sand can live in freshwater, so they'll all die and contaminate your tank.
It is best to use pea sized gravel or sand. This is safe for them to eat as it will pass through them easier than gravel which can get stuck in their digestive system.
If you are premixing the salt in a large container outside the tank, then put the sand in first. If you are going to mix the water and salt in the tank, then put the water in and mix it first, and then when its mixed put in the (rinsed!) sand. It will fog up, but that will go away.
You can get live sand from www.bigalsonline.com for a good price.
