Hello guys, I was at my LFS today and I saw some of this pool filter sand. I was wondering if it's fine for bichirs. I have a endlicheri and senegal(brand is Marco Filtration Sand)
Sand ok for polypterus

Yes sand is fine better than gravel when keeping bichir.
should be perfectly fine, just expect to wash it a bunch (as with any sand). I prefer filling a 5gal bucket partway and spraying water into it and swirling around to get the lightest particles/junk out. You will need to tip the bucket. just until its clear or nearly clear will do fine
