I have a lightly planted, 10-gallon tank. It's only been up and running for a little over a month, but I'm thinking of changing the substrate for a couple of reasons:
One; the color isn't nearly as dark as it first appeared, it kind of takes away from the fish (as does the background I have, but that's an easy fix of course).
Two; I have Black Kuhli Loach, and the little guy can't exactly burrow in the substrate I currently have. He has a cave to hide in, but I plan on getting a second Kuhli eventually, and I figure it would be better for them to be able to burrow as they normally would.
So, aside from sand (I would rather not go that route), any other substrates/brands anyone out there could recommend?
I have a couple ideas in mind, but I'd like other opinions too.
