### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Black gravel
*by S***L on July 20, 2025*

Too small bag for the high price, to thin gravel it will not last when you clean your aquarium the vacum will extram them all. It has no durability. Yes it looks great but won't last. Easy to clean and use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice contrast
*by J***R on July 17, 2024*

Wanted something to change up my Betta tank and show off his gorgeous colors. This black color is very bold and a true black. Made the tank look so much better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice looking sand
*by J***N on April 16, 2016*

Nice looking sand, however for our 3 gallon tank, 2 bags were definitely not enough, I'd suggest at least 3 or 4 for a tank that size. Not sure how good the sand is for starting a fish in a new tank. We had a betta somewhat unexpectedly dropped on us, he had a 1 gallon bowl , our house was not warm enough to keep the water temp high enough for him so we had to kind of move him over quickly to a larger tank with a heater as he was becoming lethargic in our cold house after about 3 days , unsure if it actually "instantly cycles" but betta seems happy so far in his new home. Update: The sand has a nice sparkle to it, and is much nicer looking than the plain black petco aquarium sand we purchased supplement the Activ sand, help keep our plants well supported.
