One of the most important things when it comes to maintaining the health and quality of your water<\/a> in your home is to make sure that all of the other aspects in the aquarium are going to be in a perfect balance so that you do not have any issues in the way of bacteria.<\/a><\/p>\n Fine sand in most cases used as a substrate in betta tanks has to be avoided as it can cause a lot of damage<\/a>.<\/p>\n \r\n\r\n<\/p>\n One of the best things to do when it comes to keeping the fine sand from sticking to the rocks and other things in your tank is to make sure that you use a substrate that does not have the fine sand included in it.<\/p>\n The idea is to have something that is very loose<\/a> and porous to the environment in the tank and the environment in your tank.<\/p>\n This way, the fine sand will be able to flow with the water, but still be able to stick to the rocks and other pieces of equipment in the tank.<\/p>\nThe number one problem with fine sand is that the betta fish thinks of it as food and will sometimes eat it when hungry, this will cause serious damage to health and early death!<\/h3>\n
