do i need to wash the gravel before i put it in the tank?

Answer by Chewy • Jun 10, 2021
This gravel does not have to be washed though it does not do any harm if you wash it beforehand.

What makes this gravel better for shrimp than other small gravels?

Answer by Chewy • May 26, 2025
This gravel is safe for bottom dwelling fish due to rounded edges and grain size (0.7 – 1.2 mm ).

Is this gravel coated or all natural without coating?

Answer by Chewy • Sep 09, 2021
Dennerle Nano Garnelenkies Shrimp Aquarium Gravel is colored with food-safe color pigments and definitely safe for invertebrates and all other aquarium inhabitants.

3 times the charm

after being shipped tanks 3 different times due to lazy packaging 2 of 3 tanks broken in shipment by placing tank box inside of another bigger box with literly 1

after being shipped tanks 3 different times due to lazy packaging 2 of 3 tanks broken in shipment by placing tank box inside of another bigger box with literly 1 sheet of brown paper. no bubble barrier, no foam just air and 1 piece of paper. youd think hey Chewy is a pet supply store right ?!? they should know better? but sadly no and now 2 tanks are garbage due to lazy and management group not caring low level employees care by example of leadership. Do better Chewy! besides that product is awesome perfect tank for what i was using for a new Shrimp home.

Sand substrate

This substrate is one of my favorite inert I have ever bought. Not fine sand like you think but not to big either. Works great for my neocaridina shrimp. Just order

This substrate is one of my favorite inert I have ever bought. Not fine sand like you think but not to big either. Works great for my neocaridina shrimp. Just order another for tank set up. Only con is you get about 5lbs per bag. To me that is just enough for thin layer in 10gal 10 for shrimp.

Better than expected

I ordered this sand in the green. The green is a nice rich, deep green which shows up really nicely under both low red/blue lighting and bright white/blue lighting

I ordered this sand in the green. The green is a nice rich, deep green which shows up really nicely under both low red/blue lighting and bright white/blue lighting. No sedimentation. I used this small bag to top up/brighten the black sand in both my betta tank and my 40 gallon community tank. The cost isn't bad if you're using this to mix in with another sand (all my tanks are black sand), but I'm not sure it would be affordable to do an entire large tank with it.

Smaller granules than expected

I got this to mix in with my existing substrate in a 15gal community tank with neocaridina cherry red in it, I currently have Seachem Flourite black in there as

I got this to mix in with my existing substrate in a 15gal community tank with neocaridina cherry red in it, I currently have Seachem Flourite black in there as a substrate and wanted something with a bit smaller granule size to fill in some of the low spots and be 'better' for the shrimp in the tank. The size of the granules is tiny, like beach sand size, which will easy slip down thru the Flourite and just settle in the bottom of the tank underneath the existing substrate (my smaller 10gal has Eco-complete and would likely have the same issue). Also, the amount you get is not a lot and I would need at minimum 3 bags to feel like I might possibly have enough to do what I had intended. I'll save this bag and use it in a new nano set up. This would probably be good for a 5gal or less tank, depending on if you're using live plants in the tank, as you won't be able to get much depth for planting in a 5gal.
