FAQs

What is aquarium gravel?

Aquarium gravel is a type of small, round stones or pebbles that are used as a substrate in a fish tank. The substrate is the layer of material that covers the bottom of the tank and provides a surface for plants, decorations, and other items to be placed on.

Aquarium gravel is typically made from a variety of materials, such as natural stone, ceramic, or plastic. It is available in a range of colours and sizes to suit different types of tanks and decorating styles.

In addition to providing a decorative element in a fish tank, aquarium gravel also serves several important functions. It provides a surface for beneficial bacteria to grow, which helps to break down waste and maintain good water quality in the tank. It also provides a place for fish to dig and hide, which can help to reduce stress and improve their overall well-being.

When choosing aquarium gravel, it's important to consider the size and type of fish you are keeping, as well as the overall design and appearance of the tank. Some types of gravel may be too large or sharp for certain types of fish, while others may be too small or fine and may be ingested by the fish. It's also important to wash the gravel thoroughly before adding it to the tank to remove any dust or debris that may be present.
