Blue Quartz Sand 8kg from Hugo Kamishi

A healthy fish tank is important to aquariums everywhere as they help your fish to thrive in an environment that feels completely natural to them. Gravel,
sand and substrates assist the tank in producing good bacteria which is vital for converting harmful ammonia into nitrate.
Wastage that is generated by the fish, plant debris and leftover food within the tank needs to be treated in the right conditions so that your fish remain safe.

Sand can look very nice in an aquarium and it is better for fish that dig or forage in substrates.
Catfish, gobies, soles, spiny eels, and cichlids are all examples of fish that manipulate the substrate.
With sand, these fish can dig or ‘earth-eat’ without any risk or damage.

Gravel wears down the barbels of catfish, and with spiny eels especially, skin wounds become a site for bacterial infections.
Sand is mandatory for spiny eels and ‘freshwater’ soles/flatfish.
Sand is much cleaner than gravel as the space between gravel pieces is big enough to allow debris in.
