i wanted to try this terracotta play ground sand on a softball field in a park, but those sand is so fine and there're alot of dust, so i didn't try it. but i can't think of a reason why it shouldn't work once u wash it throughly
I have heard of people using it and it is really hard to get all the clay out. I would just use pool filter sand/silica sand just rinse it to get all the fine particles out.
The sand i used is industrial construction sand.. stuff u would have at home deport... they work fine for fish.... i WOULD advice washing the sand 4/5 times and then filter it out for a week before giving it to fish....
I have 3 oscars and a couple of flowernhorns in that tank right now and they are doing fine....
