what size garnet for bichir tank

[litigator666]

i'm looking at buying some garnet for my tank. what size/grit is recommended. i'm just not sure, if the fine will float in the water and a course one will choke the bichir.

Fine sand would be cool. It should be gravel that the bichir can swallow.

the finest, or a grade larger than that, should be just right.

Would the fine garnet float? I have two choices 30/60 mesh and 80 mesh. Help me decide which one to take.

Garnet is heavy, no it won't float. when kicked up, it sinks well too. I forgot the grade on mine, i'll look for the invoice and let you know.

Any update on what grit size you are using? I'm planning to get some bags next month.

Checked the 80 mesh and looks good for me.
