Review: The best aquarium gravel, versatile and good-looking - Bought this for my shrimp tank in midnight mix blue. Its small and gets everywhere but its the best I have used. Its a lovely deep colour and looks great when the tank light's on. I wanted a sea bottom effect that would give the tank a proper under water theme and with real plants and seashell hidey holes for the shrimps i am so pleased with the effect. I have made it an uneven bottom with high points and dips this gravel is great for aquaplaning. It helps the shrimps when looking for food its easier for them to move about. I definitely recommend it. My shrimps recommend it, and I'm chuffed to say the shrimplets do too. I'm positive I saw some teeny weeny ones this morning.
Review: Very pretty! - The gravel didn’t require much rinsing at all. Sometimes you get gravel and it feels like it’s still dirty after four rinses, this one was clean after the first rinse! I still did another couple of rinses just to be sure, but there was hardly any dust and dirt after the first rinse. The purple and whites of the crystals are beautiful, and they’re all roughly the same size. In my tank I mixed them with 4kg of white gravel, and it adds a nice variation. Once they’re in the water, it’s not really easy to see the purples as they’re subtle and not bright. I’ve added some photos of my tank with the lights on and off so you can see how they look. Overall they are great quality and I would buy again!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What size pieces is the jet black In mm please**
A: Small pieces. About 2mm generally. Frozen pea size maximum but mostly smaller.

**Q: Would this substrate be suitable for corydoras?**
A: Corydoras will be OK in a gravel surface although they prefer something softer like sand in their natural environment. There is nothing here to catch delicate gills, it's all rounded off nicely. Give them somewhere to hide like a leafy plant to keep them happy.

**Q: How many bags would I need for a 35L tank, it's 50cm x 25cm?**
A: I used half of a bag for a 10 litre tank so I would use 3 and a half depending on what thickness you would want at the bottom of the tank

**Q: I notice buyers have received different sizes. I would like particle size of 1-2mm,   How do order to ensure the correct grade is delivered?**
A: It does normally say on the additional information part

The rounded pebbles make these kind to fish like Corydoras and they look great spread over black sand.
