Geezer,

These pebbles your thing about getting are they the sort of size of the
pebbles that are on the beach and if you washed them really hard and
carefully would go perfectly in your tank?

If so can you please tell me because this could save my goldfish!

Thanks

Mat

I've finally got some aquatic plants established in my tank that are
growing
and able to survive the goldfish. My goldfish are still under 3 to 4
inches
but they love to rip up tender plants.

I have pea gravel in the tank. The fish are getting bigger now and I've
read a lot of warnings here about the fish swallowing gravel.

My question is, what if anything should I put in the bottom of the tank
that
will work for the fish and the plants in the aquarium?

Could I dump a load of marbles on top of the gravel?

Thanks.

Underwater,

I've had the same dilemma as you. I'm considering one of the following:

Sand substrate
No Substrate
Pebble Substrate

Still yet to make my mind up.
