I personally have only used the spider substrate from <a href="http://www.thespidershop.co.uk" target="_blank">www.thespidershop.co.uk</a> and local pet shops. But yesterday I moved my red knee into larger tank and have got a small section with sand for her, aswell as her usual substrate. Shes had a good old wander and seems to like it. I keep her substrate a good few inches deep but shes never dug/burrowed (which i think is great as i get to see her prettiness all day long). Was wondering if anyone keeps any live/real plants in their tanks?</blockquote>
