Aquarium Gold Micro Gravel 1.6mm – Warm, Natural Substrate for Planted & Community Aquariums
Bring a bright, natural “golden riverbed” feel to your aquarium with Aquarium Gold Micro Gravel 1.6mm, available from Aquarium Haven & Brisbane Discus & Aquariums. This mixed micro-gravel size creates a realistic, earthy base that complements green plants, driftwood, and natural aquascapes—while still being practical for everyday fishkeeping.
With a blend of fine-to-small gravel pieces, it’s a versatile substrate that suits a wide range of freshwater tanks, from peaceful community setups to planted aquariums where you want a lighter, warmer look than black substrates.

How to Use
