Gravel at the bottom of fish tanks serves several important purposes. It provides a natural aesthetic, mimicking the fish's natural habitat. Additionally, gravel helps anchor plants and creates surfaces for beneficial bacteria to thrive, which aid in the biological filtration process. It also facilitates water circulation and can help with the overall health of the aquarium ecosystem.
