My New Black Kuhli Loaches!!

I decided to switch to sand in my 10g for my BKL, only which one should I get?? I was gonna get play sand at first, but then I found out about the problems it causes with filters. I heard that pool filter sand and silica sand were heavier than play sand, so it's easier on the fish and the filter. The only thing is where do I get the PFL if I decide to get it?? There's a pool store nearby, but idk if they're open in the winter. I live by a menards and they have a 100 lb silica sand bag for $10. I could do that. So what do you guys think??

Btw, I already know how to clean and take care of the sand before and after I put it in the tank.

I have had the best luck with the pool filter sand. Its already been cleaned so its not such a chore to rinse this stuff clean enough for your tank.

Thanks. Do you think that my small local pool store would be open in winter??

 

[KcMopar]

I would assume, people still use hot tubs in the winter and some of them use a sand filter.

Lol, I just buy that cheap black aquarium sand from Petco. works for me *DRUMMER*

The pool filter sand is real cheap, like in the area of 50 pounds for about $10.00 and its already pretty clean and looks really nice a well. Its a little more then regular silica sand but its a better quality product.

Thanks, KcMopar. I'll probably use that. When I'll set it up, idk.
