Where can I buy little bags of substrate?
I have all oolitic sand, but I am planning to get a blue spot jawfish soon. I know they need some coarser sand,rubble, and even some old shells. I don't want enough to cover the bottom of my entire tank, but I want enough for him to at least build a little den. I am guessing I only need about 5 - 10 pounds, not a 40 pound bag. Does anyone have an idea of where I can get a small amount of substrate?

I believe ideally for a bluespot you want to have 4-6 inches otherwise there is a greater risk of carpet surfing.

There's enough sand in my tank for him to make a sand pile that deep wherever he decides to live, and I have anpther unopened bag of oolitic that I can add as well. I mainly want something to top it off, so he can be happy in the tank and rearrange as much as he needs to
