Do Cichlids Need Sand?

[matchstickman47]

yes, no ?

sand or small gravel.

I use gravel, but the gravel is composed of pieces that are 4mm or smaller.

Whichever you prefer, they dont mind either - as Doris said if you use gravel use a small grade as they like to dig around and pick up the stones and spit them out!!
