## Summary description

ZOOLOGIA Aqua Natura Padamo decorative aquarium gravel, natural color, grain size 2–3 mm, 5 kg.

Suitable for aquascaping, terrariums, and enhancing tank aesthetics.

## Long description

ZOOLOGIA Aqua Natura Padamo decorative aquarium gravel in a natural color, grain size 2–3 mm and 5 kg packaging is designed for freshwater aquarium use. The gravel can serve as a substrate layer or decorative top layer, providing a natural-looking base that supports plant anchoring and contributes to biological filtration when beneficial bacteria colonize its surface. It is suitable for aquascaping and for improving the visual appearance of fish tanks and terrariums.
Advantages
This natural-coloured gravel has a consistent grain size of 2–3 mm that provides stable support for rooted aquatic plants and reduces the risk of compacting. Its neutral colour tones complement a wide range of aquarium layouts without altering water chemistry when rinsed before use. The 5 kg pack offers enough material to cover small to medium tanks or to be used as a decorative top layer in larger setups. The gravel’s texture promotes colonisation by beneficial microorganisms which aids biological filtration.
Suitable for
 Freshwater aquariums as a substrate or decorative layer
 Aquascaping projects where a natural look is required
 Planting tanks with rooted aquatic plants that need stable substrate
 Terrariums and paludariums as a top decorative layer
 Improving the visual appearance of community and species-specific tanks
When it may not be suitable
This gravel may not be suitable for systems that require specialized substrates with added nutrients or buffering capacity, such as planted tanks that rely solely on substrate fertilisation or soft-water species that need specific substrate chemistry. It is also not intended for use in marine or reef aquaria where aragonite or coral sand is preferred for maintaining salinity-related parameters.
Key specifications
 Grain size: 2–3 mm
 Colour: natural / neutral tones
 Net weight: 5 kg
 Intended use: freshwater aquariums, aquascaping, terrariums
 Material type: decorative aquarium gravel (inert mineral)
How to use
Rinse the gravel thoroughly with freshwater until the rinse water runs clear to remove dust and fines. Spread an even layer on the aquarium bottom; typical depth is 2–4 cm for a decorative layer or 4–6 cm for planted tanks requiring root stability. Arrange hardscape and plants on top, then fill the aquarium slowly to avoid disturbing the substrate. Monitor water parameters after setup for any temporary cloudiness and perform standard cycling procedures to establish biological filtration.
What to consider before purchase
 Confirm the required substrate depth for your plants or livestock
 Decide whether additional nutrient-rich substrate or root tabs are needed for planted tanks
 Check tank size to estimate how many 5 kg packs are required
 Plan for thorough rinsing before adding to the aquarium
Usage recommendations
Use this gravel as a natural-looking base layer, combine with nutrient substrates or root fertilisers for demanding plants, and perform regular gentle vacuuming during maintenance to keep the substrate clean without disturbing rooted vegetation.
