Hello All!
I have a good 11" mudpuppy in a 20 long turtle tank (soon to be 20 gallon long) with an aerator and HOB filter.
I read the article on substrate(http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/substrate1.shtml) and have river rocks and I am having the falling food problem lol
. Now I want to add sand to fill in the spaces but I do not know what size sand to purchase.
I recall the article saying that most sand in the pet stores is medium and I see that you have a link for Caribsea. I am considering purchasing their super naturals Moonlight Sand Premium Aquarium Substrate. Or PETCO Aquarium Sand.

Or if anyone has any other recomendations aka pool filtersand and where to get it please feel free to chime in.
I'm just worried about what size I should get...I don't want to make her sick or ruin a filter.
Also with her possibly kicking up the sand will it harm her gills or stomach?
Thank you in advance!!
