Beach Pebbles

[Delloy12]

Could I put beach pebbles in my fish tank?

As long as you clean them well they're fine. Make sure you do a good job of cleaning them though, as they will be quite dirty. I normally scrub them really well, then soak for a couple of days, then scrub again, rinse and put them into the tank.

cheers,

You can test the rocks by putting a couple of drops of vinegar on them, if the vinegar bubbles they are not aquarium safe. To clean give them a good scrub then boil them to make sure you remove anything harmful.

Along with what others said make sure they are round. It sounds dumb but I have seen pebbles that were pretty sharp.

I know what you mean

Yeah I actually cut myself one time.
