can you use the larger size gravel? Its like little pebbles?
I had little gravel and replaced that with sand. Got rid of the sand and now have nothing.
I would prefer something on the bottom.
We got rid of the sand cause the axies were getting sick. Have now learnt that the water is all wrong.(ph,nitrite,ammonia). Have got the axies in another tank till we fix it. They were very sick. skin peeling and one of them was constantly gulping air.
 
You cud still use sand; or large river rocks - they're about 1.5 to 2inches in size. Gravel/pebbles even the glass kind up 1cm in size can still be swallowed and may lead to probs. Or, some people have large flat rocks in their tanks.
 
some people get large bits of slate and just put that on the bottom, looks pretty cool but youd have to lift it up each water change to make sure nothing got underneath which would spoil the water
 
Can you use regular fish tank gravel or will the axies eat it??
 
yeah they'll eat it.
My axie usually spits out anything big tho but its better to be safe than sorry.
