by zujavaking

Among the several types of materials used as aquarium substrates, gravel is probably the most commonly used. This is because it's easily available and it costs less compared to other fish tank substrates. It's the substrate of choice for a lot of aquarium owners. If you are going to place live aquatic plants in your tank, gravel is also ideal as it provides secure anchorage for the roots of the plants. Gravel is also available in a wide variety of colors so this gives you the opportunity to creatively design how it should look in your fish tank.
