Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi all,
I would really like to get a mandarin (or two) for my 120 gallon set up. I understand that mandarins spend alot, if not all, of their time on the bottom eating pods etc ...
Does the type of substrate matter or rather does the sand bed have to be really fine sand as opposed to the coral rubble?
If so my next question is has anyone ever used sand from a beach instead of spending £20 for a tiny bag of which I'll need at least 7 bags to cover the bottom. Is this a wize move or a very bad move. The sand I'm thinking of is very fine and is made of broken shell.
Thanks in advance
