Default sand sand sand: for piggy

did a lot of reading up but still undecided.
freshwater river sand OR coral sand OR mix BOTH ??


read that coral sand increase the ph a lot..
will coral sand breakdown/dissolve overtime? (same as our regular coral chips?)



not sure if freshwater river sand is fine enough for the PNT..



any1 knows which type is more suitable for PNTs

I use both CC and DW so in the end it's kinda counterproductive but I added additional coral chips into the filter.

No problems with super high pH

Actually i quite envy u all... ur PNTs wont disturb other fishes. I wish to keep my PNT in the same 4x2x2 tank with my other ITs but my PNT would occasionally chase and try to bite my ITs... worried my ITs would be hurt and thus have no choice but to keep PNT in a plastic pond with 3 other small RES... But i still think keeping PNT in tank is nicer... can see it swim gracefully. Too bad it like to disturb the ITs.

mine sometimes also nipped my pacus last time. but after 3 of the pacus died now left 1 pacu with the PNT seems ok. still waiting to get new tankmates for my boy. the "gal" is too fierce to comm with fishes.

That is if they are not shy
Mine's very shy and I get jealous watching those youtube vids of people feeding their PNT where the PNT comes up to the water surface to take food off their owner's hands
