My wife asked me if there were different colored sand besides black and white...I told her I didn't think so...she asked if we could dye it with food coloring...so anyone ever tried this? I thought maybe rinse it like normal then with sand in the bucket add whatever color and then let it dry....would it turn my tank water the same color? Is food color safe for fish?

Thanks
 
They make sand in every color, just google it and you'll find places that sell it online. Also, if you were to dye the sand with food coloring, the dye will wash out in the water.
