    River Sand 2kg (Aquarium Use)

    River sand (2kg pack) is a natural aquarium substrate used to create a clean, riverbed-style look while being safe for most fish and plants.

    Key features

    • Natural appearance: Mixed light and dark grains
    • Fish-safe: Generally pH neutral (won’t change water chemistry)
    • Grain size: Fine to medium (approx. 0.1–4 mm)
    • Versatile use: Suitable for freshwater, planted, and shrimp tanks
    • Usually pre-washed (but still needs rinsing)

    Benefits

    • Great for bottom-dwelling fish (like corydoras, loaches)
    • Ideal for natural aquascaping
    • Supports plant roots (especially fine sand types)
    • Does not increase hardness like coral sand

    Important tips

    • Wash thoroughly before use to avoid cloudy water
    • Avoid untreated natural sand unless properly cleaned
    • Fine sand can compact → stir occasionally or use snails

    Care

    Caring for your clothes is also caring for the environment.

    To keep your clothes fresh and clean, simply refresh them and gently wipe with a cloth or clothing brush. This is a more delicate process for fabrics and helps avoid water and energy consumption from washing.

    • Do not use bleach or brighteners
    • Iron at a temperature not exceeding 110ºC / 230ºF
    • Do not dry clean
