Aquarium Advice Regular
I am going to convert my 10 gal (pair of kribs - hoping to breed and two corys) from gravel to sand this weekend. This will be my first tank with sand (other 4 tanks have gravel). I have purchased pool filter sand from a pool company in town. Just wondering how deep the sand should be in the tank and if the fish can be added as soon as the sand has settled (I will wash the sand first). The tank is currently planted with my crypts, anubais and java fern. Should anything be added to the sand which would benefit the plants?? Is it a good idea to have some trumpet snails in the tank to sift the sand around?? Thanks in advance, (PS very excited about my new and unexpected purchase at the Edmonton Aquarium Society auction this past weekend - gold nugget pleco - I'm not even a pleco fan but he is something else!!)
