Hi, I've posted on here before because I have a 2.5" axolotl in a 20 gallon long, and I was having some serious trouble getting it's tank cycled, but I think I have that all under control now. Anyways, my new problem has to do with the sand I just put in my tank like 2 hours ago. It used to be bottomless, but I got some CaribSea Supernatural sand and there's not that much in there, maybe a very thin layer coating the bottom. And my axolotl is already eating it. It started eating it like as soon as the sand was in there. I feed my axolotl bloodworm cubes, which I've read can be very messy to clean up, but I've never had an issue with it because my axolotl eats everything. It scrounges on the floor when I feed it to make sure it didn't miss any worms. So my concern: Can my axolotl get sick from eating sand? I read from multiple sources that sand was good because they could digest it if they accidentally ate some but like my axolotl is full on chomping it up. Also after putting the sand in the water has gotten the teensiest bit foggy. So...any feedback?
