Pettex Roman Mediterranean Blue Gravel 8 kg

I have this gravel in my other fish tank and it stops the fish waste from getting underneath it as it is so fine. So yes it's a lot easier to clean and I personally think it looks great. Even when you prewash it there is pretty much no colour coming off unlike some cheaper alternatives which can make your water look murky. This Is ideal and a wide range of colours too.

I chose the 'mixed gems' option, hoping to add some flair to the sand in my tank. I usually buy pettex substrate and I do expect there to be some variation, but they need to update the picture! I was expecting more pea sized and smaller pieces in largely earthy tones, as the picture shows. Instead the bag was full of glaringly white chunky gravel pieces with the occasional odd chunk of red or tan gravel mixed with smaller occasional chips of dark slate. It looks like someone spilt a little bit of drive way gravel into a bag of white aquarium gravel. Not the look I was hoping for. Anyway, I will use for drainage in plant pots but not for the aquarium. It really is better to buy when you can see it sometimes!

Great looking gravel.I've ordered the wrong colour and did not want purple!I layered it with some beach style stones and it looks amazing. The purple compliments the natural tank well which i did not expect.The bag was a great size, the gravel was clean and did not require much cleaning before use (but be safe and soak thoroughly regardless)Arrived quickly.All in all happy purchase

I used 2 bags for my half barrel fish pond.which is 60 cms wide x 47 high.I washed them first in a bucket with the hose on them, now I can see my 3 almost black fish.I couldn't see them before as my gravel was a dark charcoal.It's good to look at your fishes colours to see if they work together this can make all the difference.I have added 3 photos

This is a fair size bag of gravel.Take a bit of washing before you can use in the aquarium bitbthsts the same for most aquarium stones.Nice colour which stands out in the tank.

It is quite hard to clean as the gravel is really tiny so cant just chuck it in my colander as it would fall through so have to use a sieve instead. This is a really big bag we have loads left over so really good value for money!

Started flaking after a few months which results in tiny gold particles floating around, getting mixed in the substrate and clogging up filters. Probably not great for the fish either. Avoid.

I ordered this and it arrived in one day, and I'm delighted with it. The pebbles are big enough not to get stuck in my filter and small enough to look contemporary. I love the colour scheme the white pebbles really lift it. They arrived in a string bag which was easily opened. I would recommend giving them a good wash in a collinder to get ride if any dust and let toy have clear fresh water in your tank
