quick Q.

[HPIZZLE]

would a baby motoro (disk is like this long ____________________________________________, then the tail) like sand or gravel more? the sand though, is all purpose tube sand, so im sure silica is in it. is this still okay? but which would she prefer?

thanks for your time,
HPizzle.

i have my ypung rays on sand and they love it, i know people dont like it cos it sticks to the disk but if the ray wants it off the disk then it just flicks it off.

Boils down to personal preference. I say shallow sand beds are good and easy to clean. Use target playbox sand, or some black sand (like tahitian, or quarts)... just make sure it's sugar fine sand.

its tube sand. its got little pebbles in it and im sure its silica.

should i still put her in that tank?

need some more answers people, hoping to pick her up in a bit.

motoro, it should be fine, the silica thing is a myth IMO. i used pool filter sand with no problems and it says silica.

sand will be fine... just keep the sand bed shallow....

as long as they are smooth you will have no problem

yeah, sorry didnt catch your first post.

theyre smooth and the sands only a couple inches deep. if she starts to get irritated ill move her into a bare bottom tank. the only reason i didnt do that off the bat, is cause its gonna be a pain in the ass....
