The gravel looks really good. Do you think the regular colored gravel they normally sell is ok, or should I look for something smoother like the kind in the pic?
The color on colored gravel tends to chip off. Look for a natural gravel, I think my bag said "aquarium aggregates"? You can tell just by looking at the stuff in the bags that some are a better smoother quality than others.
If you want something more colorful look in Michael's or even Walmart for the tiny glass pebbles to mix in.
I want black, so do you know if that color tends to chip? Also, is there a cheaper place than petsmart to buy black gravel that will work for fish? The pet stores are a little expensive
