I bought a tank about a month ago from a friend..it came with some gravel..i washed the gravel and put it in the tank..I now have an axolotl in the tank but as the gravel is quite small it tends to try and eat it. I countered this problem by buying a bag of big stones and layed them over the top, but the axolotl still managed to get to them. I noticed earlier that the small gravel is getting really dirty. I want to take the small gravel out and just leave the big gravel in to solve both these problems but doing this will make the water really dirty. How can I do this without releasing all the dirt in the tank? Would it be better to take half of the water out along with the axolotl and then take the stones out and change the water? ]]> Freshwater Substrates - Gravel, Sand gazz2005uk http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/freshwater-substrates-gravel-sand/58107-how-take-gravel-out-tank.html http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/freshwater-substrates-gravel-sand/57831-using-laterite.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 06:29:04 GMT Is mixing laterite with gravel(pea-sized) good for plant growth?

My question would my fish be ok in a 5 gal bucket while i change the gravel out ? or what would be a good way to get this done ? I dont have another tank to move them to while i do this so any help would be highly appreciated.

I haven't set it up yet, I am taking my time and doing as much research as possible to make sure it's perfect for me and my fish.

I am setting up a 75 gal tank. I have a pleco that will be going into it and plan on purchasing a pair of blood parrots and possibly a silver tip shark.

I live close to a river. Is it safe to use gravel or sand from there?

I also prefer the look of sand but would like some opinions on sand vs gravel and the pros and cons on them as well as I am not sure which to use.

Anything you can offer this newbie is appreciated.

I added a post on my turtle forum to see if they had any responses and I'm sure most of them will tell me to empty the tank and then add it...my problem with that is that I have a curse...everytime I do something like this my fish never make it. I was wondering if it was possible to add sand to an already inhabited tank? If so then how? and if not what can I do to ensure my fish survive the change? ]]> Freshwater Substrates - Gravel, Sand Azurkan http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/freshwater-substrates-gravel-sand/56759-adding-sand-substrate-all-set-up-tank.html http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/freshwater-substrates-gravel-sand/56758-substrate-best-planting.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:19:52 GMT what types of substrates are best for planting, are there aquarium "soils" or is sand my best bet, and WHAT sand to use....does the type of plants im going to use effect the best choice of substrate?....all these things i wish to know...:;dete ]]> Freshwater Substrates - Gravel, Sand steed1172 http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/freshwater-substrates-gravel-sand/56758-substrate-best-planting.html http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/freshwater-substrates-gravel-sand/56613-black-sand-gravel.html Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:22:52 GMT Hi I am looking for a place where i can get some black sand or gravel.

I was thinking about getting this for my 29 gallon tank? any opinions? yay or nay
