sera Gravel Black consists of carefully selected, natural materials that are free of harmful chemicals and dyes. This makes it safe for all aquarium inhabitants, including fish, invertebrates and plants. Its special shape and structure also promote effective permeability and provide an ideal habitat for beneficial micro-organisms that contribute to biological filtration.

Coloured aquarium gravel can be used to create contrasts, defined areas or a complete decorative substrate. Products differ in grain size, colour, coating and recommended application. The substrate should be selected according to the aquarium inhabitants, plants and planned cleaning method.

For bottom-dwelling or burrowing fish, check that the grain shape and size are suitable for the particular species; coloured gravel should not automatically be assumed suitable for every catfish or other bottom dweller. Product information should also confirm whether the material is intended for aquarium use and whether it must be rinsed before installation.

Calculate the required quantity from the aquarium footprint and desired substrate depth. When combining colours or materials, consider that fine and coarse grains can mix during maintenance. Use cleaning tools carefully to avoid damaging coated surfaces.
