Amazon Mix Pebbles

Amazon Mix Pebbles

Amazon Mix Pebbles by Akwaria are premium natural aquarium gravel pebbles for creating a natural bottom layer in freshwater aquariums. They are suitable for aquarium keepers who want a practical substrate layer that can be arranged to make routine debris removal easier.

Key Benefits

• Creates a natural-looking bottom layer for your aquarium.
• Premium aquarium gravel designed for use as aquarium substrate.
• Can be arranged with the gravel rising towards the back of the aquarium, helping dirt collect at the front where it is easier to remove.
• Suitable for use over a layer of feed substrate or feed granules when keeping live aquatic plants.
• The gravel colour changes in appearance when wet; observe the colour transformation after rinsing.

How to Use

• Wash the pebbles thoroughly using only water before placing them in the aquarium.
• Use lukewarm water for cleaning before use.
• Cover the aquarium bottom with an even gravel layer.
• Arrange the gravel so that it moves towards the back of the aquarium. This helps dirt collect at the front for easier removal.
• For planted aquariums, first apply a layer of feed substrate or feed granules beneath the gravel.

Can I use this aquarium gravel with live plants?
