Hermit Crab Sand

Post by 78inches_Hermit » Sun Feb 23, 2025 11:40 pm

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!! :)

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

I do not recommend using AI for research, it tends to spout whatever it finds online without the ability to judge if it’s helpful or relevant

Oh ok. Well, there goes $35. I should've asked before washing the sand. Haha! Thanks!!
