I've tried bare bottom, gravel, slate and sand - and am definately a fan of the latter.
The lotls seemed very stressed with the bare bottom set up, because they couldn't get a proper grip, and even the smallest current had them skidding across the floor
Gravel they eat - i'm still picking the bits up that Muff has been passing since swapping tanks....i guess if you do go for gravel it's either got to be too big to fit in their mouths, or small enough to pass easily out the other end
I found slate difficult to clean as the poo would get between the cracks and be difficult to suck up
Sand they love! Snork enjoys moving it around and often makes a mound to rest her head on (bless!) I use aquarium sand because it's already been well cleaned (I still give it a good rinse, but nowhere near as much muck comes out of it) ... and it means i can use a very pretty blue, which shows off her lovely colour a treat!
