Olibetta Gravel - Rio Negro 0-2mm, 15kg

Our fine-grained Olibetta natural gravel is an ideal aquarium sand for your freshwater aquarium. The fine grain has rounded edges and is a great alternative to coarser gravel. This fine aquarium sand is ideal for aquariums with bottom dwellers such as catfish and invertebrates. For example, armoured catfish love to search for food in sand and fine gravel.

Fine-grained aquarium gravel prevents the seepage of feed, which can otherwise begin to rot between the gravel grains, thus helping to improve water quality. The Olibetta aquarium gravel does not compact even in this fine grain, so the roots of your aquarium plants can still provide enough nutrients for good growth.

You can use our fine natural gravel alone or as a combination with other pebble colours or gravel grains, or in the aquascape or aquarium, for example, as a stream or a path through the bed.

Our Olibetta natural gravel for the aquarium not only has a great look but also uses the ecosystem in the pool as an effective biological filter. It can fulfil this task in conjunction with a floor washer or floor heater. The natural gravel should be thoroughly rinsed with cold water before use to remove any abrasive debris and dust.

Our expert Oliver Knott recommends:

This beautiful fine-grained aquarium sand is great for using alone or together with other aquarium grains. The aquarium sand is particularly suitable for aquariums with bottom-dwelling fish and invertebrates.
