It's really quiet and it delivers the oxygenated water where it is needed (at the bottom) without the noise of an airpump or trickling water.

Witch is?

Great, thanks everyone for the replys.

I have still not found anyone supplying xingu sand, and it might not possible i guess. Im planning a xingu trip myself to collect some, and of course experiance the xingu.

BTW anyone got any photos with sand from the xingu?

I didnt come here to ask about the morals about bringing sand over half the world to my aquarium, i didnt even ask what you readers would think about it. I asked, if anyone knew someone that might send it to me. Either answer my question, or start a new thread about the morals and climate change ...

I agree aswell, but my question still remains.

Perhaps someone knows someone that works with exporting rio xingu fishes, and have thier contact information?

Thanks for you comments, added location. I know if people started to sell sand from the xingu and it would be popular, it could be bad for the fishes there. But as stated above, the transport would be costly, it weights alot more then fishes. However, i would be prepared to pay whatever ship cost ...

Since i adore my Gold nugget, i want to get sand from rio xingu for my aquarium, anyone could have any clue from where i could obtain that, without flying over there myself?

Best Regards,

Bought a nice nugget a few months ago, it has its own cave and are eating well, being the dominant fish in the tank and so on. Question being, the store i got it from stated it was a L85, but as they are sold as "nugget mix" over here, is he really a 85? I assume no one can tell the gender, i heard ...
