On what's in the bag

Being a deliberate mix rather than a single tone, expect a wider range of individual stone colours and sizes within one bag than the plain or single-colour options in this range — that's the intended effect, not inconsistent stock.

Why we chose it

It's the closest thing in this range to what gravel actually looks like in the wild, which suits anyone building a natural-style aquascape rather than a bright, single-colour one. It does the same planting and pH job as the rest of the line underneath the mixed look.

— Matt, founder

Full description

A single flat colour of gravel can look more like a manufactured product than a lakebed, which is the reason a mixed blend of tones sits closer to what a real riverbed actually looks like.

Pettex's Roman Gravel Tri-Colour Mix blends several natural stone tones into one bag rather than a single dyed shade, and it's rated for coldwater, tropical and saltwater aquariums alike. The increased surface area across the mix also makes it an effective planting medium, and it's described as helping maintain the tank's pH stability.

Who it's for: fishkeepers who want a more naturalistic, varied lakebed look rather than one flat, uniform colour.
