Wanted: Gravel

[BakerBoy17]

I need gravel for my 75 gallon tank. I have everything for it but that. I'm setting it up for my oscars which are currently in a 32 gallon tank. And they're growing fast.

There is a place called petco or petsmart that sells gravel pretty cheap. Unless your comment is wanting gravel for free.

 

[BakerBoy17]

I don't want it for free and I usually get everything at petsmart but they don't have the kind I want unless its in two pound bags and I doing think I want to but that many bags

 

[Irish.OG87]

what kind you lookin for??

 

[BakerBoy17]

I want white gravel. But I don't want to have to spend like almost a hundred dollars on it

 

[Fishkeeper26]

Walmart might have white gravel

 

[Irish.OG87]

hundred bucks lol....how much u plan on buying? 3x 30lbs bags wud be enough and then some, also depends on how deep you want the substrate.

 

[BakerBoy17]

I want over an inch maybe two inches but I'm not sure. And I was going to plant live plants in there but oscars and live plants don't mix well together. They will keep messing them up

 

[Fishkeeper26]

Where all have you looked?

 

[BakerBoy17]

I have really only looked at petsmart and that's like it

 

[Fishkeeper26]

Thank you I'll look into it. Thanks for the help

 

[Fishkeeper26]

No problem, either way pull have to get some from a store or craigslist. Shipping 75 pounds of gravel will be expensive!!!!

 

[BakerBoy17]

Ha ya I know it will. I might try craigslist. Or home depot because if your rinse the gravel from there then its really good

 

[Fishkeeper26]

Yeah if you get white landscaping rocks or sand it'll be fine

 

[BakerBoy17]

And hopefully cheaper. Thank you so much. But what are some good fish to put in my 32 gallon tank once my oscars are out?
