Is it safe to use sand with a betta?

I have a single male betta in a 15 gallon tank. Right now there is gravel in the tank, but I really don’t like the gravel. I would like to switch to a different substrate. I was hoping to try sand, but have seen a few things online about how bettas eat the sand and die. ( I have also seen a bunch of stuff that says that you can use sand or gravel, so now I’m just unsure.) Is this truly a hazard with bettas, or is it a very rare occurrence?

it is Absolutely safe ☺ as long as you use **freshwater sand**, it looks really nice go for it!

Edit: My ♥fishie♥ has never eaten sand, on the contrary he lays on the sand more often than when he had that hard ugly gravel ,it softer for him. Your fish will not eat the sand he is a carnivore, and if he does just change it back to gravel.

On a tank filled with little more than pluck, determination, and goodwill, Thomas sets out full steam ahead on a danger-fraught mission to help his friend Mr. Conductor. The conductor’s stash of magic …

Frank, Dean, and Sammy (or, as Jackie Mason had it on The Simpsons, “the Candy Man!”) For most anyone who cares, though, this is a must-buy item: a slightly edited version of the 1962 Villa Venice tapes along with a DVD that preserves a rarely seen, full-length serious/funny/anarchi…

So $14.66 So is generally regarded as a peak in Gabriel’s recording career, notable both for its solid set of songs and lush yet musicianly production. For Gabriel, who’d put his music in theatrical contexts ever since his days with Genesis, the modern sound of So (co-produced with Daniel Lanois) was itself a dramatic conceit that effectively played off the more organic roots of many of its songs. The album…
