Changing To Sand...

[Bengilbey]

Hey i have a small 6 gal tank with a Betta and a few neons, I am thinking about doing the change from gravel to sand, can anyone recommend and good sands to use?

Thanks for your help

If you want regular old sand, you can use Play Sand. Just make sure to wash the heck out of it first, or you'll have a cloudy tank for a loooong time.

I was thinking about either that or getting some white sand, but i hear thats a real pain to keep clean?

I also just got some white sand, and I have a separate post asking if folks think it's okay. Industrial quartz!

I don't think the color makes a lot of difference. You just have to make sure you hoover it enough to keep it tidy.
