Default Sand Bed Critters

One thing to think about and look into with live sand is if it is actual live sand with amphipods, copepods worms etc. Or if it is just sand with bacteria.

We dont' have access to the kinds of things that you can get below the border. Detrivore kits do a great job of giving your sand bed a kick start. Put one of those in and let the bed mature for a while before you add any possible predators and you are set.

Good creatures to have in a sand bed are worms(various types), pods(various types), gamarus shrimp, mini brittle stars pretty much everything you can find on IA's Det kit. .
