hello everyone thanks for reading

today I've just put some white sand in my tropical tank. I changed the gravel because it didn't look as natural as a sanded tank. It looks great now I might add, even though its still slighly cloudy. Any way I was just wondering if anybody could recomend any fish that like to dig around in it? I know there are plenty of marine fish that do but I'm not sure about tropical fish, Its something that would be nice to watch.

thanks.... dave

welcome.. Ohhh get some corydoras ! They school, hop all over themselves, play in the sand, and are fun to watch. A big plus is they are such a great community fish. Easy going and non-aggresive.. good luck and have fun

Awww yah kulii loaches are amazing, you might want to look into dojo loaches or some sort of shrimp

lets remember to find out the size of a tank before recommending fish some loaches need huge tanks ....although i do agree the cories would be a hoot!

Red1313

that's why I suggested Kuli's they don't require a huge tank

Shawnie

15 gals might be too small tho (thats all that is listed in his info) but im sure you know what I mean

And it already has 5 fish in it

lol
I rarely check the aquarium info.
I blame this habit on the fact that mine rarely has anything to do with the tank in question (MTS anyone )
