I've also got a question about my tank's substrate...
/bad joke
Anyhow... In my divided 10 gal, 1 betta on each half, I've got pea gravel. It's only about 1-1.5 rocks thick, but it traps surprising a lot of gunk.
This is the tank where both bettas have swim bladder issues... Otherwise totally normal, just can't swim quite right.
I really like the look of the pea gravel, but I've been contemplating removing the gravel all together, and see if having much better cleaned water helps.
I do have a gravel cleaner, but I find I just can't suck up all the gunk without draining most of the water.
Could a bare bottom help? Would removing the gravel do any harm (presuming I don't clean the filter for a while after removing the gravel)?
