TigerTail Cucumber In a Bare-bottom tank??

Macdaddynick1 · Dec 28, 2016

I am breaking down my old tank, and I have about 5 or 6 TigerTails in it. My new tank is BB, and I was wondering if anyone has experience keeping Tigertail cucumbers in a Bare Bottom tank.

No. And no one should. Tigertails ingest sand as part of their diet. They digest all the organic matter on the sand particles and then poop out the clean sand. So a sandless tank is a foodless tank and a slow painful death for a cucumber.
