Crab Tank Decor

is this stuff suitable for my crabs? Its smaller than gravel, and its marketed as 'sand'. It doesn't go all the way up. I just thought since they didnt wanna use the beach very much that this would help them differentiate the different areas in the tank . it only goes up until the first paet of the green rock then stops, leaving more beach sand area than before .

 

Looks fine to me!

 

I read that you shouldn't have a beach area that like, the bacteria gets trapped under the sand, and it'll kill the crabs.

 

Looks fine.

 

Okay, I did find what I was referencing to, here's a quote.

 

So what do you think I should do? I can change it around and mess with it next time I do my water change . but what do you suggest I do with it? Eveeyone says to they need sloped beach area like that? Are you just saying to take out fhe part that's not regular sand?

If anyone has any tips on how to make more of an island type beach with small slope in a 10 gallon I would love to make that. Just couldnt really figure it out on my own, that's why I went with straight slope . I would absolutely appreciate some tips lol. I will remove the sand from under the substrate and separate it, that's no problem . just divide it in half
