I tried a search for gravel to sand and not much came up.
I have a 10g, lightly planted with some grasses and one Betta. I like the look of sand and am thinking about converting the 10g over. I have read on other threads to do about 1/2 the tank then given time the other half.
questions:
how much stress would this cause my beautiful blue Crown TailBetta? He is a cool fish and I don't want to stress him too much. He is happy and if this will stress him, I'll leave his tank as is unless the sand will benefit him in some way.
how would I go about it? ie: how would I remove the gravel then add the sand without stirring up the sand and destroying the bb?
if doing the 1/2 thing, how long should I wait in between changing out the halfs?
