For any plant you can do both fine natural gravel or larger grain sand!

Your frogs may appreciate the sand.

Pool Filter Sand. Pool supply store, hardware store, big box store that carries pool supplies.

I just installed Qwikrete, medium grain, professional grade construction sand. 100lbs for $7.50 but...

You have a small size to fill how about CaribSea Instant Aquarium, simple, no rinsing and extra good bacteria for a better start.

And if you get their Tahitian Moon Sand color they'll look nice on the black sand.

PFS is White only.
