Now multiple people are telling you tthe opposite. You need to decide who you are going to listen to. Would you be more likely to get good advice from someone who temporarily keeps many species just until they sell, or MANY people who specialize in BTS, and have nothing to gain one way or the other?

Obviously you had some concerns about this or thought it might not be the best, otherwise you never would have posted this:
BTSspartan wrote:is it bad if i use coconut fiber mixed with sand


You asked if people recommended that as a substrate and people replied. No need to get defensive or try to justify it. :wink:

and i asked her because i looked at the care sheet and she told me to mix the sand and coco fiber still

just so you know hers is 15 years old


Is this, by chance, the same lady who wanted to breed her IJ to your tanny because if she didn't breed her IJ it would have anger issues?
