Hermit Crab Sand
Hello. I'm new here. I bought a 20 lb bag of white aquarium sand by Imagitarium. This was suggested to me by ai. I just wanted to know if you all agree that it is safe. I purchased it at Petco. Thanks!!

Re: Hermit Crab Sand
Aquarium sand is often more of a fine gravel than a sand, which is why it’s not normally used outside of fish enclosures. It won’t hold tunnels well
