Really nice rock, I rinsed it well and it didn’t cause much clouding at all. Love the look of it.

Over the course 5 tanks, from 5 gallons now up to 60, I've mixed and matched gravel. Over more than a year, with each cleaning, the tiny little rocks have been strained & cleaned out. Now all the gravel is larger than strainers' mesh - and the dust is gone. So I wanted something darker, and didn't want to add dust, or go through the sifting out small pieces of gravel all over again.These are nice sized pebbles, larger than most gravel. More importantly, they are clean. I ended up getting 3, 5-lb bags over the course of 3-weeks. Each bag was free dust. For each bag, I did a quick rinse, soaked them for at least a day, and when I strained the water, the waster was still clear.These are easy to vacuum, and the fish can move them when they forge for food on the bottom. Highly recommend.

Looks nice but expensive at $17 per 5 lb. Retail aquarium store gets $1 per pound in 20 lb bag.

Using these for a nesting area for some Bobwhite quail. They love these.

If you asked me if I wanted to buy this again, I probably would say no :/Took a LONG time to ship. The rest of this order arrived a week ago, and it kept getting delayed over and over. Looks okay, not as pink as the picture (I got the countryside one)5lbs was enough for my 10 gallon tank, but considering you can buy 5lb bags for like 7.99 at PetSmart I wouldn't say this is a good deal by any means. You're definitely paying the "pretty" tax for the colors.Overall, it's okay I guess. Not like 3x the cost nice, though.EDIT: It's been about a week and a half since adding this gravel to my tank. I've had to do a water change almost every day because it keeps testing so bad, the water is cloudy and full of floaties, and there's weird bubbles forming around the filter with a film on the water.I absolutely would NOT recommend these. I'm pretty sure they're gonna poison my fish. I will be pulling all of the gravel out of the tank and replacing it with actually fish save substrate. Other than the gravel, there is nothing different in this tank from my other bioactive tanks so it has to be the gravel throwing it off.Don't get this for aquariums.

colors are nice and my betta seems to love it. size and amount were perfect for a 5gal tank.

Very small but great price
