Vet Q & A
Is river sand safe to use in a Betta fish tank? What are the risks?
Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Ideally, no. It is better to use coarse small rocks instead of sand and in general it would be better to get them from the store where they come already clean and free of other organisms which may affect the environment of the tank. Good luck!

What substrate is safe for African Dwarf Frogs in a planted tank?
That's terrific news! It is great to read of your frog's recovery. Most keepers will keep a bare bottom tank. This will prevent ingestion of substrate and makes finding food easier for the frogs. It also makes it easier to keep the tank clean. Sand would be fine. If they inadvertently ingest some, it should pass easily. If you decide on gravel or river rock, make sure it it large enough to prevent ingestion.

Vet Q & A
Is beach sand safe for my freshwater fish tank after cleaning?
You can, however it isn't as simple as collecting a few bucketsful and dumping them in your tank. You will need to properly clean the sand to remove impurities and parasites. This involves soaking the sand, water changes, more soaking amd more water changes. It may take several weeks. There are videos you can watch on the bigger video hosting sites. It is much easier, and safer for your fish, to buy sand that has been prepared already.

Vet Q & A
Why is my fish tank getting rust colored algae after adding sand?
Sand substrate is always a problem as it promotes decay and anaerobic bacteria. If you need sand in a tank for a fish species (none of the ones you mentioned above actually need sand) you should not use it in the whole aquarium , but only in a small spot to accomodate the fish. Rust-colored spots on the glass and gravel are due to diatom algae. They likely were brought in with the silicates in the sand.Diatom algae need the silicates to make a shell they carry around with them. Remove the silicates, and the algae should die. Removing silicates can be done with a silicate and phosphate filter, or, in your case, I would remove the sand completely and refill your aquarium with washed gravel. Algae also need lots of nutrients, so if you overfeed your fish, algae will increase. Feed only what your fish eat in one minute, no more.
