Do you caulk or grout between tiles?

I was wondering if others use aquarium silicone to caulk, or use regular grout in between tiles, or just leave the gap unsealed?

It's up to you.

If you grout or seal the cracks, you prevent things from getting in the cracks and under the tile, but you can't remove the tiles.

If you don't, things will get in the cracks but you can remove the tiles if you want to clean them and under them.

I would leave the gap unsealed so you can pull tiles to clean --- many have grouted etc and regretted doing it because they then can not pull them to clean -- I use a thick shop paper towel under my tiles to catch the urate that runs down in between - I pull the tile clean it w/ vinegar/ water 50 50 in a spray bottle and replace the paper towel that is wet --- here is a pic of one of dragons tank

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
