Default Sand as a substrate for Goldfish

wrong. it will break down and get mixed with the sand by the GF. a thin layer is
not going to go anaerobic, but it must be cleaned just like stones. Ingrid

Hi all,

I've just come back from my LFS and the guy said somethings about sand that
made sense. He said that since it's so dense, all the crap stays on the
surface of the sand rather than making it's way into it. That was you only
have to vacuum the surface rather than poking into the sand.

What do you guys think? Do you like sand?
