Brad G Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) So I was hoping to add some bottom feeder fish to this tank but I used eco complete. I know most need sand and read coarse substrate can hurt them. I also will have a single blue ram in the tank and didn’t know if that would be an issue. I was hoping for at least a bristle nose pleco or two. I plan to add a lot more plants I have some trimmings from my other tank in there at the moment.

MAC Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I imagine alot of issues with barbels and course substrate has more to do with water quality than the actual substrate. Your tank and fish should be fine. Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi_Aquatics Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I second Bristlenose. They should be fine with the eco complete. I hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
