Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This gravel killed all our fish and African dwarf frog. Do not but this. Amazon should not allow this to be sold. Horrible product that poisoned our tank. We bought a 3.5 gallon tank for our 6 year old son as a birthday present. We started with 2 fish and a frog. My husband and I both had aquariums when we were single so we have experience and know how to set up a tank. We cycled the water. We had a filter, a heater, and air pump. We tested the water with the water testing kit. So the water was well prepped. Next we decorated with this gravel as my son picked it because he loved the bright colors. We also put in two decorated plants and a little cave for the frog to hide in. After this was done we put in the fish and frog. After a few hours the frog seemed be sick as he was swimming like he had a stroke. We thought we may have bought a sick frog. We returned it to the store and they let us exchange it for a new frog. We had the water tested at the pet store and they told us the water was fine so we thought it was the frog. In goes the new frog. Next morning the frog and the two fishes which were guppies were dead. So we cleaned out the tank and cycled the water again. Did everything over and went to get new fish. We got three zebras. At this point our son was pretty upset that the frog and fish were gone. We told him they were sick and we took them back to the store. The zebras all died within a day. We just couldn’t figure out what was causing the fishes to die since the water tested fine and the temperature was good. We cycled the water again and started over. This time we bought two Sebre Tetras. One of the tetras was dead in the morning. The other was still alive but seemed sick cause it was not swimming around. So we thought something in the tank must be poisoning the water. So by process of elimination we decided to take out the gravel and cycle the water again. We put the sick fish back in the tank with out the gravel. After a day the fish was all better. It was swimming and eating. So in conclusion, the gravel was poisoning the tank. DO NOT BUY THIS GRAVEL. I would give it zero stars if I could. We bought new gravel and now have three tetras including the fish that was sick and they are all doing fine with the new gravel.
