for the ones still using gravel

[mike_sema]

OK I just got a rather large ornate,, today when I got home I found 2 paces of green gravel in my tank i think if he was not so big he could have easily become compacted and died,, just a warning to just do the switch to sand or something if you have not already if you want to keep your polys out of harms way

You think he swallowed them from the previous holding tank?

My poly eats at the surface so I don't really worry too much about that.

yes this is the same stuff that was in the tank with him at the lfs

and I honestly feel its only a matter of time before they will accidentally eat something that they shouldn't

I have a question, about the pool sand at home depot or lowes is it always just a plain old brown sand color? Or do they have different colors?

my pool sand is a very light light tan. I love it.

If you have gravel and can't switch to sand due to reasons like budget constraint or you just hate sand,
I suggest crushing them. with a hammer or mortar & pestle

Do I have to order it online? Or can I pick it up at a store?

I am not to hot on the pool sand, I would like dark colors like what they have
