Very, very uniform in size and color, smooth for tender bottom feeders. Attractive as can be! Review: Very content with my purchase - I decided to splurge and am happy with my purchase. The color is very true to the photos and very unique while still looking natural. I do recommend rinsing a few times before using. I purchase the 3L bag and used about half for my 6 gal tank with an area of about 11.5 by 11.5 inches to cover. ## Features - [Plant-Friendly] Specifically designed for planted aquariums, this substrate promotes healthy root growth, allowing aquatic plants to thrive and contribute to the overall health of your aquarium ecosystem. - [Versatile Substrate] Our fish tank substrate is ideal to be used in various applications.

Very, very uniform in size and color, smooth for tender bottom feeders. Attractive as can be! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very content with my purchase *by K***Y on 21 July 2026* I decided to splurge and am happy with my purchase. The color is very true to the photos and very unique while still looking natural. I do recommend rinsing a few times before using. I purchase the 3L bag and used about half for my 6 gal tank with an area of about 11.5 by 11.5 inches to cover. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Natural Substrate *by H***R on 28 July 2025* Beautiful natural substrate for bioactive tank. Small enough to build terrain with but large enough to vaccum detritus from without the siphon sucking them all out. Took a while to rinse the dust off but you defintely want to do that before putting it in the tank. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ultum Nature Systems Controsand Bora Aquarium Sand (3L) - Freshwater Tank Substrate for Live Shrimp & Planted Aquariums - API ROOT TABS Freshwater Aquarium Plant Fertilizer 0.4-Ounce 10-Count Box - API FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT 800-Test Freshwater Aquarium Water Master Test Kit, White, Single, Multi-colored --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/695263436-uns-controsand-bora-3l-natural-freshwater-0-4-0-9mm](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/695263436-uns-controsand-bora-3l-natural-freshwater-0-4-0-9mm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-11*
