I am thinking about trying my hand at making a sand waterfall in a tank. I'd really like for fish to be in it because I think that would be amazing, but, I don't know if it is harmful to the fish. Obviously it is not normal for there to be a continuously flowing sand waterfall in the water. Will fish get accustomed to it? Does the sand eventually mix with the water too much over time and make it difficult for fish to breathe?
If you're not familiar with what I am talking about, you can search "sand waterfall" on youtube and you'll see a few examples. They are really cool. The ones you see on youtube have fish, but that doesn't mean they should.
I am going to try my hand at making a sand waterfall tank even if I choose not to put fish in because I think they are that cool. A nice 30 gallon sand waterfall tank in my office is just what the doctor ordered. I just want to know...fish or no fish...and if so, which ones?
