Pebbles are not a smart thing to have in a fish tank. You are now experiencing one of the several reasons they should not be used. The only way I know of to clean pebbles is to actually remove them from the tank and then scrub them individually. Experienced aquarists either have a bare tank policy or they use an inch or two of fairly fine gravel substrate in which they grow plants to make the aquarium look more natural and provide cover for the fish.
