All play sands should be fine. You are using this in your Suvatti tank I presume? Do check out the care sheets for your puffers though, it will help make sure everything is right: http://www.thepufferforum.com/PufferPedia

I'd also recommend skipping the play sand and getting pool filter sand, it's much less dirty as it's prerinsed and screened for similar grain size.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

Play sand is VERY dirty.. I'll never use it again.
I like "very fine gravel" or "large grain sand" better, personally.
