Will these guys do ok without sand?

This thread is going in the wrong direction. Having had both fish (actually still do), I suggest you do whatever you want to do and stop asking questions that you don't want to hear answers to. In any case, you should try and home animals that are compatible with the tank you want to have rather than force animals which require different circumstances into the tank you want to have.

Oh, and I would suggest not doing any more threads that go like this one.

I'm inclined to agree, in fact I insist on it.

I would ask that if the OP start any more discussions like this, or respond in a similar fashion on another thread, to please report the post and link to this thread. There is no excuse for an attitude like this, and it wont' be tolerated.
