Oscar Posted September 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Good point. One tank has baby Malawis-Electric Yellows and Blue etc Other has Geophagus and Firemouths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 ohk. Well i think most of those fish like higher pH's so that would be the reason for using coral sand or aragonite as normal gravel wont raise the ph. You could use coral rock if you or your LFS has any.?? I dont keep these fish personaly so i cant REALY help alot...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Posted September 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Thanks,not wanting it for PH reasons,more for something finer than the pebbles they have so they can forage around more. I ude the Salt,Epson and Bi-carb for PH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 If you belong to the Dunedin club, ask Gordon what substrate he uses in his Malawi tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
