My Fish keep getting rocks stuck in thier mouths!!!!!!!

Can I put anything on the bottom besides gravel and sand?

What is the wrong with sand??? :huh:

As long as you don't have an UGF you can use larger gravel, river rock, coral (coral will raise you ph) ect. How big are the fish?

What fish do you have?
Sand would be a good choice.

Ok Hi!

There is no problem with sand It just wont match my scenery thats all unless there is colored sand I can get?
My fish are over sized for this size tank so I wont tell you And I am really really trying to get a 20 gallon :crazy:

River rocks sound cool! :nod:

So i'm guessing you've got a 15g or similar. Have a look out for a large amazon gravel looks good and your fish shouldn't be able to get that in their mouths. I used to have some in a 15g.
As regards to colored sand, never seen any but i bet there is some somewhere.
:good:

actually, its very important that you tell us what kind of fish you have because there are some species that need sand to do well. river rocks may very well do nothing to stop your fish from getting rocks in their mouths.
