Aquarium Advice Regular
When I move to Columbus this summer I would like to try something different in a 55 gallon aquarium. I have a Pleco and yo yo loaches and I know they enjoy sand. However I also like the natural look and live plants so I would like to put those in as well. I know sand does not hold plants very well but I was thinking. Has anyone put down gravel layer then sand over top? This might be the standard way of doing it I’m not sure. If not is there something else I could look into? If I go with the sand what is the recommended sand substrate? I have another 50 gallon tank. The sand bottom tank I would like to keep the Pleco and loaches in and maybe move either the platys or the barbs. not real sure which way I will go but they all get along in the tank they 're in now so I kind of feel bad separating them but at the same time they’ll be happy as well. Just throwing out ideas anyone interested in helping I would be grateful.
