Sand bed, Pros and Cons

[Invigor]

if you're worried about psychological well being of your fish, why do you own fish in the first place?

I don't think there are strong enough pros/cons relating between a sand bed deep or shallow and barebottom to really make a difference to the fish.

I personally have a sand bed because -I- like the look of it. I don't really care if the fish like it or not..it's not up to them. I can't sit down and negotiate living quarters with my fish, so they'll just have to live with how I like it unless they start paying the bills.
