This 1 kg pack of river gravel suits aquarists who want a natural-looking substrate for a freshwater aquarium without buying building-grade aggregate. The gravel is sold as a substrate for planted tanks and as a decorative element, such as a dry-looking river or island in the aquascape.
Why it matters
- The gravel is collected from natural water environments and sold as washed, so it arrives ready to rinse and use.
- The supplier states that the gravel is chemically inert and does not cause pH swings, which is the main reason for choosing it over construction gravel.
- According to the supplier, it contains only nitrifying bacteria, and the grain structure and porosity allow those bacteria to colonise it.
- The 1-3 mm grain size works both as a main substrate and as a decorative layer, and it is suitable for planting aquatic plants.

What it works with
The gravel is intended for freshwater aquariums, either as a base layer for planted setups or as a decorative addition. Because the supplier notes some dust forms during transport, rinse it under lukewarm running water before use. The gravel is damp on arrival because it is packed directly after collection and kept alive with bacteria, so it can be used with other aquarium decorations and plants.
