Substrate Change?

[lilfishie]

i am thinking of changing my substrate (?sp) to either fine black gravel or sand and possibly live plants too heres what the tank looks like now.

its a 15 gallon with stocking of:
4 bettas (female)
2 Bn plecos (female)
1 small clown loach
3 Cardinal tetras
5 Neon tetras
i know its over stocked but the laoch will be moving out soon

so how do you think i could improve it?

yeah and i'm sure the plecs would love the bogwood

I agree a black gravel substrate would look better as well as more plants, but i love sand personally so i think a black sand substrate instead of a gravel one would be even better (or natural colour sand or white sand) .

no offence but i would take everything out and start again

exactly what i am thinking of doing just wanted some opinions on black gravel or sand

how about a mix of black sand and normal sand it looks nice
i done it on my piranha tank

i have sand in mine and i prefer it to graval i have plastic plants in mine cause the fish just wrecked the live plants dosent seem as much mess with sand
