I currently have tahitian sand (black). 1.5" sand/aquapharm laterite mix
and another 1" sand. I'm not 100% happy bec. it's not flourite! and I
find hat the roots from stem plants can not seem to penetrate the surface of
it. Instead of the roots in the gravel, they lay on top of it and start to
become hairy(bec. of the root system branching out.) I do have albino cory
cats. I'm sure they also have something to do with it.

What do you mean by "substrate *sp*" btw?
