Stones, Pebbles & Marbles

Create stunning, harmonious habitats for your customers with these pairing recommendations for Sanabil Aqua World:

• Goldfish & Koi Tanks

  • Stones/Pebbles: Large, smooth river pebbles or rounded stones. Avoid sharp gravel or small marbles that goldfish might accidentally swallow.

  • Plants: Hardy, robust plants like Java Fern or Anubias attached to driftwood or heavy-rooted options, as goldfish love to nibble and uproot delicate greens.

• Tetras & Tiger Barbs (Active Community Tanks)

  • Stones/Pebbles: Dark or natural earth-toned gravel and medium-sized stones to create a striking contrast against vibrant schooling fish.

  • Plants: Dense background stem plants (like Rotala or Amazon Swords) paired with open swimming spaces in the center, accented by smooth accent boulders.

• Tiger Oscars & Cichlids

  • Stones/Pebbles: Large, stable stackable rocks, flat slate pieces, and heavier river stones that active diggers cannot easily dislodge.

  • Plants: Artificial plants or extremely resilient live species (like Vallisneria), as cichlids are notorious for rearranging their substrate.

• Bottom Dwellers (Albino & Suckermouth Catfish)

  • Stones/Pebbles: Fine, smooth-textured pebbles and rounded river sand/stones that protect delicate barbels from scratching.

  • Plants: Broad-leafed plants providing natural shaded resting areas and hiding spots.
