Sand Safe With What Fish?

[*Fishkies*]

What types of fish are good for sand and what types are not? Just curious since everyone has asked about sand a lot on here and it's types. I was curious about what fish work well with sand and which types don't.

I haven't heard of a fish who isnt safe with sand yet... I have kept all kinds of fish from cats to cichlids to bettas and none have had a problem with sand at all. Most fish will actually like the sand more than gravel!

With sand, its safe with all fish as far as i am aware, even very important to have for some types of fish, but just make sure you avoid stuff like "coral" sand for freshwater tanks as it will change the ph of the water a lot, also never use building sand in any fish tanks either.
Stuff like silica sand and childrens playsand is totally safe though, just remember to wash it before you put it into the tank to get rid of all the dust in it as otherwise it will turn the tank water very cloudy.
