Product description

Riverbed Sand is ideal for many types of aquatic turtles as it is their preferred substrate in the wild. Soft-shell turtles especially prefer the find sand for digging and burrowing. Other types of water and ground-dwelling reptiles, such as frogs and salamanders, will also benefit from Riverbed Sand because of its soft nature.

A rough surface, such as gravel, can easily injure skin tissue. Riverbed Sand is very fine and can be easily secreted when ingested, unlike gravel or pebbles which can cause indigestion.

Created over time in an African river, Riverbed Sand is extremely fine and round, making it an ideal and safe substrate for the aqua-terrarium.

Perfect addition to a small aquarium
5 out of 5 stars
Perfect addition to a small aquarium
Purchased for a 20 gallon turtle aquarium. Rinsed the sand in a 5 gallon bucket until the water ran relevatively clean (less than 10 minutes). When added to the tank, it did cloud the water, but cleared quite quickly (probably within 30 minutes). My turtle digs/ moves around in the sand, and the water remains clear. *I've only added half of the cleaned sand (shown in picture).

    It was delivered with a hole in the bag, so alot of the sand had spilled out during shipping. It was disappointing, not to mention a mess to clean up

    It clouded the tank and killed a filter. you CANNOT add this to an existing tank. no matter how much you rinse. It is also super fine and my eels could not burrow into it as it was like cement on the bottom. I will have to put the fish in a bucket and and dump it in the back garden. Even after it settled a few days, the water was almost clear, but my filter died from the debris in the motor and whenever fish moved near the bottom, it would stir it up into the water making it cloudy again.

    Reviewed in Italy on May 13, 2021

    Semplicemente perfetto come ogni prodotto di questa marca: tutte le volte che ho acquistato, da altri marchi, prodotti per la mia tartaruga (pseudemys nelsoni), me ne sono pentito.

    Exoterra dà una affidabilità totale invece: la sabbia è fine e perfetta, studiata per far tollerare l'ingerimento alle tartarughe, che potranno così espellerla senza problemi (avevo prima una ghiaia che ha causato blocchi intestinali alla piccola tartaruga).

    L'aspetto è molto bello, la sabbia non viene "tirata su" dal filtro anche se si utilizza un filtro molto potente, ha il giusto peso per tornare subito a terra dopo che la tartaruga la smuove: questo permette di non causare intorbidimento dell'acqua e di conseguenza rischio di congiuntivite all'animale.

    Come quantità 4.5 kg mi sono bastati per un acquario con base 25cmX35cm.

    Suggerisco molti lavaggi prima dell'inserimento in vasca in quanto la sabbia è molto polverosa; potete lavarla in un secchio alto mettendo un tubo aperto a pelo d'acqua, dando ogni tanto una smossa a tutta la sabbia sul fondo. Sarebbe un problema non farlo perché in acquario conserverebbe "per sempre" tutta quella polverosità.

    Per concludere, la tartaruga lo adora e adora scavare!!

    I love this sand. It’s a little pricy, but I decided it was worth it since I wanted a darker color for my aquarium. It took quite a while to wash, but it was worth it. I used a pillow case to wash mine, which worked perfectly! Just make sure to rinse it well until it runs mostly clear. The cloudiness in my picture is from adding fritz- the sand settled very quickly!
    I put it in my axolotl tank since it’s super fine and safe for them. My little guy seems to like walking on it so far. :) I’m very happy I went with this sand!
