    Sand

    depends on where you live of course. I have a friend who built his entire tank around the sand and water near his house on Key West. HOWEVER - if you are not in Hawaii, Keys, it's most likely a bad idea.

    Will clown trigger get along with Picasso?

    the clown is a gorgeous fish...it's also the nastiest fish on the planet - including damels.
