Aquarium Gravel 5 Pounds, Pearlescent, Complements Tanks and Décor (AQ-78484)

We picked this gravel up to refresh our tank and it honestly made a bigger difference than expected. The pearlescent color gives the aquarium a much brighter, cleaner look and really helps the fish stand out, especially under the tank lights. After rinsing and adding it in, our fish were immediately more active, swimming through it, exploring, and even resting near the bottom more than they did before. They clearly seem comfortable with it and are loving the change. The gravel pieces are smooth and a good size, so we haven’t noticed any issues with fin damage or fish avoiding certain areas. It also settled nicely without making the water cloudy once everything was in place. Downside: the gravel is fairly lightweight, so when vacuuming or doing water changes, it’s easy to accidentally suck some of it up if you’re not careful. Overall, this is great quality gravel that looks fantastic and keeps our fish happy. We’d definitely buy it again for another tank.

I love how the GloFish Aquarium Gravel instantly adds a vibrant, colorful touch to my tank. The pearly finish really makes the colors pop, and it complements my fish beautifully. It’s just the right size—small enough to be safe for my fish but large enough to keep everything in place. The 5-pound bag was plenty for my medium-sized aquarium, and it spread evenly on the bottom without much fuss. I also appreciate that it’s easy to rinse and doesn’t cloud the water. Overall, this gravel not only looks great but also creates a nice environment for my fish. Highly recommend if you want to brighten up your aquarium!

Bought this to replace white sand. Honestly like this better. Went to wash it before hand and had ZERO dust. Which is great! Water was immediately clear even with mixing. Tank looks better after a deep clean. Cloudiness in photo is from cleaning previous debris, not from the rock.

Great color, looks fabulous

Price is ok. Easy to clean it’s not like the other rocks that still leaves white in water. Once rinsed and cleaned good it doesn’t make water murky. The smell is weird and once put in tank, fishy smell doesn’t leave no matter how many times you wash it. Rocks definitely strong doesn’t break down or apart. Cute.

Great value for price. Perfect size for small tank. Neutral color easy to work with .

I used this for my plants..I was not really sure but oh my yes..quite easy to work with

Perfect for my fish tank! I used 2 bags for my 5 gallon to cap off my soil

Would buy again

The gravel does not sit well with very inconsistent sizes! On a positive note, the gravel was very clean; no dust came off when I washed it.

Like the white pearl

There is chemical residue on this gravel even after rinsing...the water turned milky and a healthy 2 yr old fish died in 24 hours. The gravel is not pearlescent ...looks more like a beige crushed coral.
