FAQs

Are these stones safe for all types of fish?

Yes, the stones are 100% natural and water-neutral, making them safe for all freshwater aquarium inhabitants.

Do I need to cure these stones before putting them in my aquarium?

While they are water-neutral, a thorough rinse is recommended to remove any loose debris or dust.

Can I attach live plants to these stones?

Yes, the textured surface is excellent for attaching plants like Java moss, Anubias, and Bucephalandra using fishing line or specialized glues.

What is the typical size range of these stones?

The product description specifies dimensions up to 30 cm, but they are naturally variable in size and shape within the 5-30 cm range.

Will these stones affect my water parameters (pH, hardness)?

No, the stones are water-neutral and are designed not to alter water chemistry.

Can these stones be used in saltwater aquariums?

While described as water-neutral for freshwater, it's always best to test water parameters if using in a sensitive saltwater setup, as natural rocks can sometimes have trace elements.

Are the dimensions listed (H:30.0 x W:30.0 x D:30.0 cm) for a single stone or a set?

This likely refers to the maximum dimensions a single stone might reach, as they are sold individually or in sets where size varies.

Troubleshooting

Stones appear dusty or dirty upon arrival.

Rinse the stones thoroughly under cool running water before placing them in your aquarium or display.

Algae growth on the stones.

Gently scrub the affected areas with a soft brush or an aquarium-safe cleaning tool. Consider adding algae-eating fish or invertebrates if appropriate for your setup.

Stones are unstable.

Reposition the stones to ensure they are resting securely on the substrate or a stable base. For aquariums, consider using aquarium-safe silicone to secure them if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances aquarium aesthetics with natural, textured rock.
  • Provides safe hiding spots for small fish and invertebrates.
  • Promotes plant and moss attachment for a natural aquascape.
  • Versatile for use in aquariums, terrariums, and landscaping.
  • Water-neutral composition ensures a healthy environment.

Cons

  • Natural variations in size and shape mean no two stones are identical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before introducing the dragon stones to your aquarium, it is recommended to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any dust or debris. Arrange the stones within your aquarium to create your desired landscape. Ensure they are stable and will not shift, especially if placing heavier stones. For terrestrial or bonsai use, position them as desired within your chosen container.

Compatibility: These stones are 100% natural and water-neutral, making them compatible with all freshwater aquarium fish, invertebrates, and plants. They do not alter water parameters. They are also suitable for dry terrarium environments and general landscaping.

Care: Dragon stones require minimal care. Periodically, you may want to gently brush away any algae buildup using a soft brush or a dedicated aquarium cleaning tool. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaps for cleaning, as this could be harmful to aquatic life. If they become obscured by debris, a simple rinse with dechlorinated water is usually sufficient.
