Hugo Kamishi Black Glass Gravel
A shiny, fine black gravel designed to enhance the appearance of any aquarium.
The recommended gravel depth is typically 5cm for most setups. The amount needed depends on the tank size and type—whether it’s a fish-only or planted aquarium. Gravel volume, not weight, is the key factor to consider, as different materials vary in density.
Gravel provides a surface for beneficial bacteria to colonize, which helps break down waste such as fish excrement, uneaten food, and plant debris. A stable bacterial environment is essential for maintaining water quality and overall tank health.

The gravel looks great in my 100-liter tank. It has a nice shiny black finish and stays clean even after a few weeks. My fish seem to be active on the surface, and the water clarity has improved since adding it.

I used it in a community fish tank and noticed the bacteria settled well. The depth is manageable at 5cm, and it doesn’t cloud the water like some other types of gravel.

It’s a good match for my black-colored decorations. The fine texture doesn’t make the tank look muddy, and it’s easy to maintain during water changes.
