I ordered an ornate and melanurus. When I put them in QT with a good sized container of sand they didnt take to it and the ornate was ridiculously stressed. I took the sand container out and put about an inch worth of sand over about 3/4 of the 20 gallon. They both went right into the sand and did very well after that.
Yes you have to throw the sand away after the fact but with one of the vacuums it's not a big deal and I got a 20 lb bag of sand for less than $20 with over 3/4 still left.
Of course every situation is different along with each fish but with enough options maybe one will work for you
