Dear Paro-friends,
Matthias wanted to know our experiences with aquarium ground (sand, gravel, peat…). He uses peat, but he is not satisfied with it, because it is impossible to soak something up from the ground without the peat. I answered him that Sand is good to clean but very bright. So called shrimp gravel is dark but very expensive. I made my best experiences with Clay-Sand (1:10, 5cm) covered with 1cm colored gravel. Per example dead Artemia can easily soaked up with a tube and if this ground is perfoliated with roots and mixed up from snails, the water quality can be excellent.
