Description

JBL Sansibar River is a light, fine sand substrate with black pebbles ideal for use in freshwater and marine aquariums, as well as terrariums. Create a realistic underwater world with the natural Sansibar River substrate ideal for digging fish, such as rays, kuhli loach, catfish, etc. JBL Sansibar River Aquarium Substrate is available in two different size bags, 5kg and 10kg.

Ideal Substrate
The substrate is an important part of the aquarium interior because a lot of animals dig in the ground to search for food. The plants also need a safe hold and have to absorb the food in the ground through their roots. Digging fish definitely need a substrate which is not sharp-edged. Undergravel heating can only be recommended for medium-fine to coarse substrates because water circulation cannot really build up in very fine substrates.

Use
Rinse the substrate with tap water to remove any abrasion caused in transit. In planted aquariums place the substrate on top of the nutrient substrate such as JBL AquaBasis to promote plant growth (for for vigorous root development approx. 6-8 cm).
