I don't know if it would be a good idea or not. If it is, I just wasted 10 bucks on sand. Its white sand and its pretty fine.
 
Sand is fine for fry, its gravel that the problem. I breed electric blue Jack Dempsey's, plecos, and a few different African cichlids.
 
the real question is, is fry bad for the sand?
 
Bare bottom is better
you can clear the bottom easy and remove extra food
also i like bare bottom as i can drop a bunch of worms and hey keep there for fry to eat
