Thanks Again All.

Des.
It is 1 - 2 mm gravel, maybe pea gravel is not the name for it.
I picked the name from my lfs when i was buying it, but i hear what you are saying about food getting trapped in the gravel and polluting the tank.

Uhoh. I use about two inches or fine black sand. Oops!

Andrew C,

Your Avatar and the bottom picture with the female does show PEA GRAVEL ( which look like tiny pea sized pebbles) unless I am due a visit to the optician !!!!!!. From the pictures they look to be a lot larger than 2mm, and being round/egg shaped has a lot of gaps for food to dissappear !!!!!

Regards,
Des.

Des, I think I've been obsessed - or worse- for a long time;)

McEve,
That is pretty interesting information. Where did you dig that up?.
By the way what does the sentence at the bottom of your posts, in Italics mean?.


Andrew,
Goodluck.

I found it on usenet ages ago, Des.

It means there's no place like home, plain and simple
