Coir fiber mats...where could I find these?

viper69 Jan 16, 2005 12:09 AM

I have searched a few places..and finding a coir fiber mat for a 10 or 15gal standar size aquarium tanks is proving difficult.

Does anyone have any suggestions or a place I find these for purchase? I want to use it as substrate on the floor of a tank.

Thanks

i've actually seen these mats available at petco, black jungle also carries these. if its that difficult to find you may want to think about using peat moss. thats currently what i'm using and it works well. most people use the cocofiber mats for their walls. you c an also purchase coco fiber blocks from petco that you add water to and they expand like 4 to 5 times.
