I need to know what my other options are for putting at the bottom of my aquarium besides gravel2007-11-24 23:35:45

I haven't lost a single fish since setting up my tank.in fact I get TONS of babies all the time. So the lack of 'gravel' doesn't seem to be much of a problem. Just make sure whatever substrate you use is not chemically treated.

So you can use sand (expensive), marbles, peddles, and river stones (you can get these in the 'craft' section at Walmart for about $1/bag. It'll take about 5-6 bags to fill a 10 gallon tank).

Hope that helps

garden lava rock looks cool and its available in different colors, just wash real good, and since its porous anarobic bacteria grows in the tiny holes which desolve the fish waste.

Try sand or marbles and even river stones. Try buying one of thos syphon things that hook up to the sink and it will such all that waste from the bottom.
