Using black sand as a substrate?
I have a ten gallon tank that currently has some blue standard aqarium gravel. It is freshwater, but I would still like to change the substrate to black sand. So how would I go about that? It is the home to a male betta, 3 cory cats and two ghost shrimp. Would I have to catch them and toss them in a bucket with the tank water and then scrape out all the gravel and add the black sand? Would my tank have to recycle even if I used the same filter and plants/decoration?
Also would it be okay to just get black play-sand and rinse it in a pillow case and then soak it for a week?
Okay, I can get the aqarium sand, but were would I keep my fish for two weeks?
Okay are you sure I don’t have to recylce? I know a lot of people don’t know what they are talking about, but I trust you as you usally give awsome advice. I am going to check around on some various fish forums just in case(:
Ooo I like the idea of having the gravel on the bottom and covering it with sand(: But eventually I might get a khulie loach or two and I think they would be surprised when they went to burrow…

Can I keep my orange delight shrimp in freshwater.?
Can I keep my orange delight shrimp in freshwater with about 4 other fish in a I think 10 gallon tank (maybe a 15)? If so what should I feed it?
It’s a 10 gallon tank. I have three medium sized tiger barbs, 1 small loach, and a red clawed crab.

why is my established – 10 gal freshwater tank cloudy?
I have an established 10 gallon tank. I’ve had it about a year.
Lately, like the past week, the water seems to be more cloudy than usual. I did a 3 gal change this am and tonight the nitrate/nitrite and other things are all in range.
The only thing different is that w/i the last month I noticed a sudden appearance of a bunch of baby malaysian trumpet snails.
Could that be why the water is cloudy?
Also, I’ve lost about 3 fish over the last 3 months. I suspected ich or velvet and treated with that teatree oil fish med.
Currently I have two zebras, two platys, a female betta, 4 ghost shrimp and about 500 teeny tiny baby malaysian trumpet snails.
One potted plant. put in a new filter today.
The other new thing is TetraMin Tropical Crisps. Or maybe it is the freeze-dried bloodworms….
any thoughts on what could be causing the cloudy water?
