It seems as though people automatically assume that an aquarium has to have gravel. I don't get it. All it does is trap waste products and make the water even dirtier. For an animal that is sensitive to water quality, leave the gravel out so that the water stays cleaner. And why four inches? All that is going to do is eliminate water circulation through the gravel, allowing anaerobic bacteria to grow, which produce toxic waste products.
