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.
If you forgot to wash the aquarium sand before adding it to the tank, you can try to remove it by carefully scooping it out with a net or siphoning it out with a gravel vacuum. It's important to remove as much of the dirty sand as possible to prevent cloudiness and potential harm to your fish. You can then rinse the remaining sand thoroughly before adding it back to the tank. Remember to monitor the water quality closely in the following days to ensure the health of your fish.
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.

Yes, the sugar will remain on the bottom of the tank like sand.
