Depends on the fish you want honestly. Burrowing fish like finer sand since thick sand can give them “sand sifting injuries” from digging in the sand

so this sand wouldnt be good for the burrowing fish?

i don’t think the burrows will hold at this level of grain. i’d go one grain size bigger to meet both desires (sand fine enough to burrow in and thick enough so the burrows won’t collapse)

edit: upon further inspection/research this sand is fine

Yes, good grade sand or even Fiji pink, The issue with coarse sand is some of the grain may have sharp edges and if stirred clog impellers and even some Intakes.
