AQUAEL DECORIS Basalt Gravel 2–4 mm 2kg – Natural Aquarium Substrate

AQUAEL DECORIS Basalt Gravel is a high-quality natural dark aquarium substrate that creates a striking, natural-looking aquascape while providing a comfortable environment for fish and aquatic plants. The dark colour enhances the colours of fish and décor, making it especially suitable for shy species, fish that naturally inhabit dark-bottom environments, and planted aquariums.

With a 2–4 mm grain size, the gravel is ideal for most freshwater aquariums. It allows good water circulation through the substrate while providing stable anchoring for live plants. The inert basalt material does not alter aquarium water parameters, making it safe for tropical fish, shrimp, and aquatic plants.

Before use, simply rinse the gravel under running water to remove any transport dust or fine particles.
