Happy fish will be brightly colored. Clean water, proper caves to feel secure, tasty food, and a rotation of food so they get all the vitamins and minerals they need, big enough tank to spread out and not feel crowded together...
Many fish change color to communicate with their tank mates. Schooling fish like Tetras will show their best colors in a dark tank because they are trying to stay coordinated with the school. Clown Loaches do not school in the same way, but they do use color to communicate with each other.
If 3M cannot help you find a local supplier, you can call all the swimming pool contractors and supply places. Contractors who install pools would know where to find it, and they might get it through a swimming pool supply store that sells pumps, filters, chlorine and all sorts of other pool equipment.

38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.
Happy fish keeping!

Di, I contacted 3M and they referred me to a local distributor/store - but they quoted $40/bag + shipping (since they have to order from 3M).Diana wrote:If 3M cannot help you find a local supplier, you can call all the swimming pool contractors and supply places.

I live around SF Bay Area, can you let me know where and how much you got your 3M CQ black?
Thx
Actually another member of a plant forum had some excess, so I got it.
There are SO many places that supply swimming pool contractors throughout the SFBA.
Start locally, with your own phone book, call all the installers and suppliers.
You might also contact rock yards and masonry stores, especially Peninsula Building Supply which is in the South Bay (Santa Clara, I think, but one of the towns at the south end of the Bay)
I know that A Very Nice Pool Company installs pools with this product.
Look also under Pool Plasterers and see if there are any listed separately. These companies specialize in finishing pools with plaster, and many other materials, including 3-M Colorquartz.
If you are interested in planted tanks come on over to

There is a distributor finder on the 3M website

I'm going to check out SFBAAPS.
Like I mentioned before, I used 3M website and the closest distributor to me wouldn't sell the CQ direct. They referred me to a local pool store, that asked $40/bag. I even made a complain to 3M on the big price difference between stores. At that price, I might as well get some eco-complete + flourite black sand - and then file ch 11
Another distributor is 80miles away.
I'm 40miles north of GG bridge. I checked several pool store/supplies already, none carry 3M CQ.

After many hours of rinsing, the Colorquartz is in the aquarium & the clowns seem to love it. They are already digging caves. I found a local pool company that actually contacted their distributor to order it for me, it was $32.50 for 50 lbs. I live in Western North Carolina, but I think it came from the Charlotte area. It was worth all the hard work, thanks again for everyone's feedback.
