    I am planning on moving my fish around between my tanks and the pistol shrimp is slated to move. The tank it is in right now has a larger size sand in it and the tank I am planning on moving it to has a sugar sand. Will the shrimp be okay with this type of sand or should it stay with the larger grain sand?

    Thank you. I was a littled worried about changing the substrates on it, but now I feel better.
