I have four Mollies currently living in a 45G bow front tank... Right now I have no rocks or sand on the bottom, just the glass.. I'm wondering if that is OK or do fish require something on the bottom?
I chose not to put anything on the bottom because originally my Mollies were in a 10G with rocks but it was very hard to keep clean as their waste and excess food would hide in the rocks, the tank would look clean so I always thought it was, but it really wasn't.
So anyway, I find nothing on the bottom a lot easier to clean because I can actually see where I need to suck up waste & left over food! But I'm not sure if rocks or sand is necessary?
I read that waste will sit on top of the sand rather than get mixed in like gravel, is that true?
Thanks for your help!
