Ohko Stone for Aquariums
Dragon (Ohko stone) gets its name due to its unique appearance and color. Dragon stone is a rock that resembles dragon scales due to its greenish brown hue and many crevices. Dragon stone is very popular in the aquarium hobby for several reasons:
- Lightweight and sturdy for stacking
- Unique look
- Great for anchoring plants and mosses
- Inert properties (does not affect water chemistry)
- Creates great safe places for shrimp and nano fish
Dragon stone is great for aquascaping due to its fragile-clay like structure. You can take larger pieces and break them with a hammer into smaller pieces to achieve a more rugged scape as well as smaller accent pieces for your aquarium.

The Ohko Stone looks exactly like the pictures. I used it to anchor my moss and it holds well. My shrimp love the crevices for hiding. Easy to break into smaller pieces for detail work in the tank.

Great for creating natural-looking aquascapes. The stone doesn’t affect water chemistry and is stable even after breaking. My nano fish are active in the crevices, which is a plus.

Looks good and is lightweight. I broke a large piece into smaller ones for background texture. A bit fragile when handling, but works well once placed.

Perfect for beginners. The stone is inert and safe for my shrimp. I used it to support my Java moss and it stayed in place without sinking or shifting.
