Black Aquarium Gravel - 1 lb - Natural Freshwater Substrate with Live Beneficial Elements - Instant Cycling, Easy Maintenance

Too small bag for the high price, to thin gravel it will not last when you clean your aquarium the vacum will extram them all. It has no durability. Yes it looks great but won't last. Easy to clean and use.

It pretty and keeps the tank clean for way longer!! Great product just wish bag was bigger but it’s a good mount for a 3-5 gallon tank.

Good price, and that's good because you need a minimum of 2 bags for even the smallest betta tank. I bought 2 bags for my established 2.5 gal tank and 5 for my new 5 gal, and I think it needs 2 more. The package says not to rinse, but it makes the water cloudy, so I let my 2.5 gal run overnight after a full water change. Even still, my betta friend had some shock, so in the future I may let it run a week or even fully cycle before reintroducing my fish friend. Some of the particles float and my little guy thinks they're food (but he spits then right back out). It's much easier to clean than gravel. Pretty black sand for my water/black Feng shui element.

Wanted something to change up my Betta tank and show off his gorgeous colors. This black color is very bold and a true black. Made the tank look so much better.

I just gave my three bettas new homes and decided to include this sand in each one. They each have spaces exclusively of sand. Now, all three prefer to nap on thier sand zones. I wish I'd thought of this earlier. Thanks to this bio-ready sand, all three tanks were ready and waiting within a day. I thank you for an excellent product and quick service.

Perfect sized gravel, not too fine and not huge. Does have a little sparkle to it! It also has a few brown pieces, not sure if they are plain stone or some component to the "live" gravel. As others have mentioned, the bags are very small... I bought two bags and it gave just enough coverage for a Fluval Spec III 2.6 gallon aquarium. If you want deep gravel or have a bigger aquarium, you will have to get more than two.

It’s a very small amount that you get but a really good product

Not happy at all with this product. I ordered 3 bags for my 3 gallon tank which gave good coverage. Unfortunately it's been 2 full days and the water is still very cloudy. My betta is not happy at all and neither am I. This feels like small gravel and not sandy like I expected. Any tips to make it better because I am super disappointed and this is very expensive for a product that doesn't seem to settle?
