<\/i> Adds whimsy and fun into any aquarium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

Cons<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> A bit too light<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n
\n
These glow-in-the-dark pebbles are perfect for a kid\u2019s aquarium. The bright colors will work well with cartoon or fantasy themes. Some serious aquarists might think this is tacky, but they are quite charming.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n
2. Lifegard Aquatics Dragon Rocks<\/h3>\n
$\"lifegard$ <\/a><\/p>\n
I was surprised at how many rocks came in this package. Although the description says that it is just enough for a 10-gallon tank, I still needed to leave a couple out of the tank. The freshwater aquarium rock decorations that I did use were a bit too big so I still needed to trim them down a bit so they would fit my tank.<\/p>\n
These are all-natural rocks. This means no two pieces will be exactly alike, and this adds to their natural charm. You can make your aquarium look like it was taken directly from underneath the sea, as you can make these rocks look like corals. Your imagination will be the only thing holding you back.<\/p>\n
Also, because these are all real rocks, you don\u2019t need to worry about any harmful chemicals leaching into the water. The only thing that you need to do before you place these rocks in your tank is to rinse them thoroughly. You do not need to do any additional treatments.<\/p>\n
The thing I liked the most about these Dragon rocks is that they have a lot of holes and cavities. This made them a natural hiding place for the little fish. Also, because they have spaces at the base, even medium-sized fishes have somewhere they can hide and rest for a bit.<\/p>\n
If you are a seasoned aquarist, then you will be glad to know that these rocks, due to them being very porous, are easy to shape and trim to size. If you need the rocks to be a specific shape, then you can rest assured that they are soft enough that a regular chisel will do the job well.<\/p>\n
One thing I hoped the seller would have done, though, is pre-wash the rocks. I knew that they would have a bit of dirt on them as they were natural rocks, but most of them have a thick layer of caked-on clay, which was quite a challenge to remove. I suggest that you soak the rocks in a bucket of water before washing them.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Includes enough rocks for a 10-gallon tank<\/li>\n
<\/i> Rocks are uniquely shaped, no two are alike<\/li>\n
<\/i> All-natural and will not contaminate the water<\/li>\n
<\/i> Has a lot of holes and cavities for small fish to take shelter<\/li>\n
<\/i> Can be shaped and glued together to form unique rock formations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

Cons<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Needs a bit of washing before placing it in the tank<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n
\n
Although these rocks are not pre-washed, it is undeniable that these rocks gave my aquarium a lot of character. My fish also loved the new additions in their tank. If you are thinking of getting into aquascaping, then you need to get these rocks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n
3. WAYBER Pebbles Crystal Quartz Stones Rocks<\/h3>\n
$\"wayber$ <\/a><\/p>\n
I chose the black pebbles because I am going for a monochromatic look for my tank. However, I did glance over the other colors and now I am planning to start another tank, but this time, using the translucent pink pebbles. Whatever your personal color preferences are, you will find them here.<\/p>\n
I was quite surprised to find out that these brightly-colored freshwater aquarium rocks were natural stones. I thought that these were made of resin. They are quite dense so they will not move around the tank even if you have a high-flow tank. Even the fish may have a hard time moving them around.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the fish, they usually like to play or burrow into the substrate. If you used gravel with sharp edges, then it could hurt your fish. This is not a problem with these pebbles as they are all polished to eliminate any jagged edges, so they are perfectly safe for your fish to play in.<\/p>\n
These pebbles came already somewhat cleaned. I still needed to rinse them under some running water, but not that much. Other natural decorative pebbles, especially the ones that were crushed and sifted, contain a lot of sand. These barely had any dust on them so they were easy to clean.<\/p>\n
Aside from aquariums, I have found other uses for these pebbles. For instance, these make a great ground cover for potted succulents. These pebbles are also great as decorative media for air plants. I also use them in my clear flower vases. They hold the stems of the flowers and they look great.<\/p>\n
These are real rocks, so they are quite dense. With that said, you should not expect to get a lot of rocks in a single package. At best, they could be enough to cover the bottom of a betta tank. If you want to use them in, say a 10-gallon tank, then you would need to buy a dozen or so packages.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Comes in a bunch of different colors<\/li>\n
<\/i> Made from natural stones<\/li>\n
<\/i> No jagged edges, making them safe for fish<\/li>\n
<\/i> Minimal rinsing needed<\/li>\n
<\/i> Ideal for use in applications other than aquariums<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

Cons<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> A one-pound bag does not have that many pebbles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n
\n
If you have a small betta tank, then a bag of these pebbles will be fine for your needs. You will need a lot more if you want to cover the bottom of your tank with this product. However, it would be better to use them as a sort of highlighting material. Just a few of them here and there would be ideal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n
4. Caribsea Life Rocks<\/h3>\n
$\"caribsea$ <\/a><\/p>\n
Live rock is a must-have if you want to set up a reef aquarium, but real ones are quite expensive, and you would not want to even get near the illegally harvested ones. The Caribsea Life Rock is an environmentally friendly alternative as it is an artificial rock made to look and behave like a real live rock.<\/p>\n
Although Caribsea says that their live rocks for freshwater aquariums do not need any curing, it is still important to give them a good washing in clean water before putting them in your tank. However, once all the sand and bits of paper are off, it is already safe to place the live rocks in your established reef tank.<\/p>\n
The nice thing about this product is that it is not just a simple slab of plaster. The manufacturer infused it with spored beneficial bacteria. This means that they are technically live rocks. The bacteria will lay dormant while the rock is dry. They will also become active again when submerged in saltwater.<\/p>\n
Although these are fake rocks, there is no risk of them contaminating your tank with harmful chemicals. Even the paint used to color the \u201crocks\u201d is eco-friendly. I have been using these live rock substitutes for a couple of months and so far, I haven\u2019t noticed any negative effects in my reef tank.<\/p>\n
The best thing about this product is that it is significantly more affordable compared to real live rock. You will be getting a bunch of these faux live rock for the price of just one piece of the real thing. If you have barely enough left in your budget for setting up a reef tank, then I think this is a great choice.<\/p>\n
Although I liked these live rocks a lot, I am not that impressed with their colors. They may have started out having vibrant colors, but they look a bit sun-bleached at the end of the manufacturing process. Also, if a piece of the rock breaks off, the inside is very white, like chalk.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Eco-friendly alternative to real live rock<\/li>\n
<\/i> No initial curing needed<\/li>\n
<\/i> Contains beneficial spored bacteria<\/li>\n
<\/i> Safe for all fish and other marine creatures<\/li>\n
<\/i> A lot cheaper than real live rock<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

Cons<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Dull colors, and white where pieces break off<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n
\n
This is a great way to add more realism to your reef tank without causing any harm to the environment. They look great and are very porous, but they would have been much better if the colors were a bit more vibrant.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n
5. CFKJ Aquarium Gravel River Rocks<\/h3>\n
$\"cfkj$ <\/a><\/p>\n
Although I am not against colored resin rocks, there is no beating the natural beauty of real river rocks. If there are no rivers or streams near where you live, these stones are great substitutes. They are all-natural but they are polished to make them look even more beautiful.<\/p>\n
These rocks for aquariums freshwater are just the right size and weight for an aquarium. You will also be getting different colors and shapes of rocks, so they will look natural when you use them to line the bottom of your tank. I like how non-uniform these pebbles are, but each piece is still relatively the same size.<\/p>\n
Unlike artificial pebbles, these products have colors that will never fade. These are real river rocks and their colors are all-natural. This means they will still look the same even after many years have passed. This also means that you can reuse them indefinitely.<\/p>\n
These pebbles come in an 18-pound bag, which is enough for a 20-gallon tank. I used this product as a second substrate layer, with a layer of sand underneath. I feel that 18 pounds of these pebbles are more than enough because I like to leave some spaces open. It just looks more natural that way.<\/p>\n
I got two bags of this stuff, one is for my aquarium and the other I used as a top cover for my succulent collection. These did a great job of keeping the wind from blowing away the potting mix. Aside from that, they made my plants look even more amazing. You can also use these pebbles for landscaping purposes.<\/p>\n
Take note that you have to wash the stones in hot water and some vinegar before you place them in your tank, though. These rocks have a thin layer of wax (to make them shine) so you need to wash them off to keep the fish safe. This is not that difficult to do. It will just take roughly half an hour to clean the entire bag.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Gives your aquarium a clean yet natural look<\/li>\n
<\/i> Just the right size and weight<\/li>\n
<\/i> Colors do not fade<\/li>\n
<\/i> Comes in an 18-pound bag<\/li>\n
<\/i> Has a lot of other uses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

Cons<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Needs a good washing to remove the wax coating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n
\n
Although these rocks require a bit of preparation, the results speak for themselves. If you want to give your freshwater tank a clean and natural look, then I think that these are the rocks that you need to get.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n
6. Small World Slate Natural Slate Stone<\/h3>\n
$\"small$ <\/a><\/p>\n
I used these slate stones to create freshwater aquarium rock formations and they turned out quite well. These stones average around 2-3 inches in size, which is perfect for a 10- or 20-gallon fish tank. I used them to create caves and stacked stones, and they looked great.<\/p>\n
Because these stones are flat, they make the perfect \u201cbuilding blocks\u201d for creating aquascapes. These stones are quite solid and do not easily chip, so you can stick them together using aquarium-friendly superglue. You can then expect them to hold tightly for many years.<\/p>\n
These are not faux stones. They are real slate stones, so they do not contain any harmful chemicals or substances. Moreover, they do not contain any harmful parasites. However, you should still give these stones a good rinsing and scrubbing beforehand to prevent your tank from getting cloudy.<\/p>\n
Speaking of cleaning, these stones are not that hard to prepare for use. I just placed them inside a bucket of water for an hour or so to loosen any caked dirt. After that, I scrubbed the surface gently. The entire process took around three hours, but it is not labor-intensive at all.<\/p>\n
I should warn you, though, that these stones have rather jagged edges. You may not want to use these stones with fish that have long, flowing fins, like bettas or goldfish because of that.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Perfect size for aquascaping<\/li>\n
<\/i> Can be glued together to form structures<\/li>\n
<\/i> All-natural and does not contain harmful substances<\/li>\n
<\/i> Easy to clean<\/li>\n
<\/i> Can be used in other projects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

Cons<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Has sharp edges, making them unsuitable for goldfish or betta tanks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n
\n
I liked these slate stones. If you want to give your freshwater tank a bit of dimension instead of just the usual substrate and plants, then I think these stones are great additions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n
7. BLQH Pebbles Aquarium Gravel River Rocks<\/h3>\n
$\"blqh$ <\/a><\/p>\n
The nice thing about using white pebbles in an aquarium is that they frame the other contents of the tank. For instance, if you have a small betta tank, placing white pebbles will make the fish\u2019s colors pop. In addition, you do not need to use a strong light. The pebbles\u2019 color will help keep the tank bright.<\/p>\n
These rocks are also all-natural. This means they do not contain any chemicals that may contaminate the water in your fish tank. Also, since they do not come from rivers or ponds, you can be sure that they do not have any harmful parasites that can harm your fish.<\/p>\n
If you like taking care of live plants in an aquarium, this is the perfect substrate to use. These pebbles are perfect for live plants as their roots will have plenty of space for growth. These pebbles are also dense, thereby preventing the plants from getting uprooted.<\/p>\n
This product comes in an 18-pound bag, which contains more than enough pebbles for a 10- to 20-gallon tank. I used this on my 15-gallon tank and it made a layer that is at least 2 inches deep. It might be a stretch to spread this out on the bottom of a 20-gallon tank though, so you may need a bag and a half.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t worry about the half bag of white pebbles leftover from your aquarium. There are plenty of other uses for these pebbles. I use these as ground cover for my succulents, and they also make great vase fillers, especially if you have a translucent vase.<\/p>\n
I do have a bit of a problem with this product and that is it takes a long time to clean for first-time use. There is so much dust and sand in the bag of pebbles that it will take at least 4 to 5 buckets of water before the gravel is clean enough for use in your aquarium.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Brightens up any aquarium<\/li>\n
<\/i> All-natural without any harmful chemicals or parasites<\/li>\n
<\/i> Provides good anchoring for live plants<\/li>\n
<\/i> One bag is enough for a 20-gallon aquarium<\/li>\n
<\/i> Has a lot of other uses aside from aquarium substrate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

Cons<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Needs to be washed at least 4 to 5 times<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n
\n
Although these white pebbles are a pain to wash for the first use, you will still discover that they are quite worth it as they will instantly brighten up any aquarium.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n
8. BCQLI Sphere Bio-Filter Red Volcanic Rocks<\/h3>\n
$\"bcqli$ <\/a><\/p>\n
These rocks are the real deal. If you are thinking of adding a bit of color, and also a few nitrifying capabilities in your aquarium, then I think these are just the things that you need. I scattered a bit of them in my aquarium, which added a bit of brightness to the tank.<\/p>\n
Because lava rock is naturally porous, they are great for cultivating essential nitrifying bacteria. This means that these rocks are cleaning the water in the tank just by being there. You can add these rocks in there and in a couple of weeks you will find that the nitrate level in your tank will remain healthy and stable.<\/p>\n
These rocks are mainly sold for use as a filter medium. By using these rocks as filter media, they can also filter solid waste and debris. The best thing about them is that compared to cloth filters, you do not need to replace them every couple of months or so.<\/p>\n
It also does not matter if you have a freshwater or saltwater tank. You can use the rocks just fine. These rocks came from a quarry, so there is no need to fret about salt particles getting into your freshwater tank. However, if you will be using them with a marine tank, then you should also have a protein skimmer.<\/p>\n
Lava rocks are also great for gardening, especially if you are taking care of succulents. Add these rocks into regular gardening soil and it will turn into fast-draining soil, which is ideal for succulents and the like. You can also use this to cover the top of the potting mix to prevent air erosion.<\/p>\n
Now, here is the problem. If you are thinking of getting this product with the intention of using it as a substrate, don\u2019t bother. You will only be getting a small bag that contains just enough rocks for an overhead filter. If you want lava rocks to cover the bottom of the tank, you can find them cheaper elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> All-natural volcanic rock, not imitation rock<\/li>\n
<\/i> Extremely porous, good for nitrifying bacteria<\/li>\n
<\/i> Ideal for use as a filter medium<\/li>\n
<\/i> Perfect for both saltwater and freshwater tanks<\/li>\n
<\/i> Useful for gardening<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

Cons<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Only comes in a small bag, making its price somewhat expensive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n
\n
Although lava rocks are great for adding color and texture to your aquascapes, you should find a cheaper supplier. This product will only provide just enough rocks for an overhead water filter. They would not be enough for ground cover.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n
9. Voulosimi Lava Volcanic Rocks<\/h3>\n
$\"voulosimi$ <\/a><\/p>\n
I must warn you that this specific product can be pricey, but it does look great in an aquarium. These lava rock granules provide your fish with a uniform monochrome background that lets their colors shine. If you spent hours just watching your fish, prepare to spend a lot more time when you use this as a substrate.<\/p>\n
If you do use this product as an aquarium substrate, the spaces in between the pebbles are big enough that they will let solid waste pass through until they reach the bottom. This will allow beneficial bacteria to deal with ammonia and nitrates. It would be like having another under gravel filter in your tank.<\/p>\n
If you like taking care of live plants, then these pebbles are among the best ones that you can use. The roots of the plants will have enough room to grow and expand. Moreover, the pebbles are heavy enough that they can securely anchor the plants in place.<\/p>\n
These pebbles are the ideal breeding ground for beneficial bacteria, the ones that help with the nitrification process. Each pebble has a lot of surface area, so there are more places where the bacteria can grow. This means that they can help get rid of the ammonia in the water.<\/p>\n
Aside from aquarium use, I also found that these pebbles are ideal for use in succulent planters. I mix them with equal parts of garden soil to turn it into fast-draining soil. This is the ideal planting medium for succulents as these kinds of plants do not like to sit in a pot of soggy soil for a long time.<\/p>\n
Here is the catch. The pebbles are a bit on the expensive side. You will only be getting a rather small bag, which does not have nearly enough pebbles to cover the bottom of a 5-gallon tank.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Perfect aggregate for planting live plants<\/li>\n
<\/i> Allows solid waste to fall into the bottom of the tank<\/li>\n
<\/i> Makes a great monochrome background for colorful fish<\/li>\n
<\/i> Helps neutralize the pH of the water<\/li>\n
<\/i> Ideal for planting succulents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

Cons<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> You will not be getting enough material to cover the bottom of even a 5-gallon tank.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n
\n
These rocks are great for giving your small potted succulents some top cover. However, if you will be using this for your aquarium, then it would be best to look for another product that gives you more value.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n
10. KISEER Mini Clear Glass Stone<\/h3>\n
$\"kiseer$ <\/a><\/p>\n
These tiny little glass beads look like tiny gemstones. Adding a bit of these little sparklers in certain parts of your aquascapes will add quite a bit of charm and whimsy to your setup. They also come in a lot of different colors, so you can mix and match them if you want.<\/p>\n
Even though these pebbles are made of glass, they are quite small and they do not have any jagged edges on them. This means that the pebbles are completely safe for your fish. Even if your fish were to ingest these pebbles like they usually do, they will not be in any danger and they will just pass through their system.<\/p>\n
If you think that your aquascape is a bit bland and needs a bit of color, these pebbles are the perfect addition. Also, if you are following a certain theme in your aquarium, you can choose from any of the vibrant colors available. Because these beads are made of glass, their colors will never fade.<\/p>\n
Unlike other aquarium pebbles, these glass beads are much easier to clean. Unlike real stones, these glass beads do not come covered in their weight in sand, so you will only need to rinse them a couple of times before they are clean enough for use in your tank.<\/p>\n
Just like the other products in this list, you can also use these glass pebbles for other decorative purposes. Because I liked how they look, I got another bag just for my clear flower vase. The beads are excellent when used as a vase filler.<\/p>\n
If you are thinking of using this product as an aquarium substrate, you will be disappointed at the size of the bag. You will not get nearly enough to even cover half of the bottom of a 5-gallon tank.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Looks great like little gemstones<\/li>\n
<\/i> Perfectly safe for use in any fish tank<\/li>\n
<\/i> Adds a splash of color in any aquascape<\/li>\n
<\/i> Has a lot of other applications<\/li>\n
<\/i> Easy to clean<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

Cons<\/div>

\n
\n
<\/i> Not economical to use as a substrate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n
\n
I do not recommend that you use this product as the sole substrate material for your aquarium, especially if you have a tank that is larger than 5-gallons. It is simply not economical. However, you can use this product to great effect as a decorative addition to a regular substrate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n
