### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Perfect Substrate for Happy Betta Fish
*by M***A on May 18, 2023*

I recently decided to upgrade my betta fish tank setup, and after some research, I came across the Betta Fish Sand Substrate. Let me tell you, this product exceeded all my expectations, and my betta fish are loving it!First and foremost, the sand substrate is of exceptional quality. It is finely granulated, providing a smooth and comfortable surface for my betta fish to explore and rest on. Unlike gravel or rougher substrates, this sand is gentle on their delicate fins, ensuring a stress-free environment.The natural appearance of the sand is another highlight. It beautifully replicates the soft, sandy bottoms found in betta fish natural habitats, creating a visually appealing and authentic aquatic setting. The sand's neutral color also enhances the vibrant colors of my betta fish, making them truly stand out in the tank.One of the greatest advantages of this substrate is its easy maintenance. The sand is easily sifted and cleaned, preventing debris from accumulating and keeping the tank water pristine. It doesn't cloud the water like some other substrates, ensuring a clear and healthy environment for my fish.Additionally, the sand substrate promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, which aids in maintaining a stable and balanced aquarium ecosystem. This has had a positive impact on the overall water quality, contributing to the health and vitality of my betta fish.In conclusion, I cannot recommend the Betta Fish Sand Substrate highly enough. It offers a perfect combination of aesthetics, functionality, and ease of maintenance. My betta fish are thriving in their new environment, and I couldn't be happier. If you're looking to create a beautiful and healthy habitat for your bettas, this substrate is an absolute must-have!I would definitely give it a solid 5-star rating and will be using this substrate for all my future betta fish setups

### ⭐ Sand looked great But killed all the fish
*by L***A on March 14, 2024*

This sand looked beautiful. Rich and luxurious looking. A bit pricey for a small bag but seemed worth it after seeing it. I rinsed the sand thoroughly before using it. I was replacing some very ugly blue gravel in a 2 gallon Nano Tank. The 2 fish were thriving before. After replacing with the black sand I noticed the fish were not acting normal. Floating in unnatural positions. I immediately checked water parameters did a partial water change and they seemed better. After a day they again were struggling. They did die after a few days. I have a second nano tank I had been cycling. I had also used the same sand in this tank. it was going to be for a small school of neon tetra. I put the tetras in before I went to bed. By morning they were all dead. Ive been keeping various fish for 40 years so this seemed out of the ordinary. I had checked everything so I concluded it had to be the sand. I removed the sand from both tanks and replaced with a black aquarium gravel. Since then both tanks are up and running with same species of fish and they are thriving. I ended up taking the sand and using it on one of my bonsai trees as decoration on top of soil. Believe it or not my bonsai tree also died. I never really write reviews but I felt like I should share my experience with this sand.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice!
