Weather Loach and Laterite
Hi, I'm setting up another 55 gallon planted with laterite on the bottom
with 2" playsand on top. I really want some weather loachs and some MTS, but I was wondering if they would stir the laterite up any with their digging? Thanks Lepomis_Man |

the MTS alone, will mix that around, and the loaches usually don't burrow,
as they prefer to hide, or just lay around... the MTS will, I guarantee, mix your substrate, over and over again... -- RedForeman ©® "LtWolfe" wrote in message . ..

So, it's a "no-go" as far as laterite getting into the water column?

they won't put it in the water column, they'll put your sand on the bottom,
and your laterite on top, in time... I wouldn't worry about it, it's an aesthetics, visual thing... If you've got red laterite on bottom and gray sand on top, it WILL mix.... -- RedForeman ©® "LtWolfe" wrote in message . .. So, it's a "no-go" as far as laterite getting into the water column?
