can/will orandas or other coldwater fish tolerate coral sand as a substrate gravel as they are hardy fish?
can/will orandas or other coldwater fish tolerate coral sand as a substrate gravel as they are hardy fish
I use live sand in a tank with 2 oranda, a pearl scale and a weather loach. I washed it very well before putting it in my tank. You'll need to use a hydrometer to test for salinity so the water doesn't become too brackish. My loach does well in this substrate, and she digs in the sand constantly. As weather loaches do, she will also bury herself in the sand. It's never hurt her or the goldfish. They've been the tank with this sand for 4+ years and all of the fish are in show quality shape!
Live sand can be very expensive. There is really no extra benefit to using it in freshwater tanks. The only reason I used it for my tank is that a neighbor was getting out of the hobby and gave me about 75lbs of it!! I was just starting up my show tank for my weather loach and decided to use the LS.
As the other answerer said, I don't recommend doing this, but it can be done.
Bringing the Coral Reef to your Home
Sadly, coral is not something that can simply be shipped into a person’s home. However, synthetic coral can be constructed and put in an aquarium. This type of artificial coral method will spruce up any aquarium, helping you add a bit of color to your home, aquarium store or work.
Whether you are deciding to put it in to help sell the fish in your store, or you are a developer putting together a home with a complete fish tank inside, putting coral replicas and aquarium ornaments in will help ad a bit of color to an already stunning aquarium display.
As well, if you already have fish, putting in coral will help provide a home for the fish in the aquarium. Many fish that make it to the fish tank are of the tropical variety, and they live in coral environments where they go to the coral reef for protection from predators. To help them feel at home in fish tanks away from the sea, fish owners will put in ornaments to help keep the fish at ease. However, why put in a sunken ship when you can put in a beautiful coral display.
If you are thinking of opening an aquarium exhibit, either at a zoo or other type of tourist exhibit, then a coral display will be something that will dazzle everyone who sees it, keeping them coming back to see the amazing display and telling their friends all about it.
Naturally, putting together a proper synthetic coral display that looks real is not as easy as one would think and it takes a company with experience in the building of such displays to get it right. As a result, it is important that you contact a company like Living Color Enterprises, who can put their years of experience to work to make the right kind of coral display that will not only provide the proper home for marine life in your store, home or business, but also look real to everyone seeing it. A coral display is not something to do unless you are committed to providing the utmost in quality, and you can be assured that Living Color Enterprises is.
If you are looking for an artificial coral display for your aquarium at your home, business or store, please contact Living Color Enterprises at 1-800-878-9511 or visit our website at Living Color to see the types of solutions we can offer you. Coral reefs are delicate things, and they need to be put together properly. Leave it to us to do it right and leave you wondering if you can actually tell the difference between real coral and artificial coral. We are betting, you won’t be able to.
