My fish are eating the sand in the tank. what do i do. unless this is normal. the dempseys are eating the sand. what do i do it would be to hard to take the sand out without disrupting there already cycled environment. what do i do. please someone help me.
 
lilslim,
Are you sure they are "eating" the sand, or could it be they are just sifting it through their gills looking for morsals of food.

While JD's are not known to do this on a regular basis, it is not unusual for them to do it.

Next time you see this behavior, see if they are ejecting the sand back out through their gills.
 
:lol: OMG! believe me man they ain't eating the sand.they do this w/gravel to.
 
i watched closely and it looked like the jd's spit it back up but the gouramie didnt i never seen it come out. well thanx um i will look through the forums and try to help people.
 
yea they are not eating the sand dont worry about that but if it bothers you just get ride of the sand. they do it with rocks all the time
