Just wondering how many goldfish people have rocks on bottom, because i do. smile.gif

I added a bunch of pebbles in my Goldfish tank.

I have gravel. It is a mixture of browns, gray and some white. I love it. I think it is very natrual looking.

In my 55 gallon I changed mine from purple and blue gravel to to polished river rock. My daughter's 10 gallon has blue gravel.

I have some small river rocks and would like to get more. I really don't want gravel. smile.gif But I will add a background and some plants in pots. I just set this tank up last Wednesday.

Wyunkin, Congrats on your new tank. It looks huge!

I just switched to river rocks (did have blue gravel) and I like it a lot. My fishies are afraid of the bare tank bottom. If I was going to go with a bare tank bottom I would have to put something dark underneath it. I really like the river rocks though, and the goldies like to rummage in-between them all day.

I bought my river rocks a little at a time, I got them in the craft section at WM. They come in 2 different sizes and I bought a few bags everytime I went shopping so it didn't seem like it cost so much! rolleyes.gif

I have some polished river rocks, and some blue, green, and clear rocks that look like gem's or whatever...it's pretty, and gives the fishies something to play with

I've got natural gravel in all of mine, with some polished river rocks scattered throughout.

I have bare tank bottom.. but I have coral all hidden in my external filter acting as PH buffer..

i like the aztec gravel...looks really natural not quite sand or dirt looking, but the color seems more life like for a aqua setting smile.gif I also have river rocks and other polished stones in my tank.

I have six or so pink quartz and other interesting colored rocks - about 4-6 inches in diameter scattered on the bottom randomly. The bottom is basically bare, with only the stones and some plants to break it up.

I just switched from a medium sized natural colored gravel to all black small gravel. My background is a really dark blue (almost black) and my tank looks great now. The dark colors really make my baby's orange/gold colors stand out.

Woo!

I put "no" because I don't have any rocks or pebbles but I do have a small gravel plant substrate (flourite) in both my tanks -- though I'm not sure if I should have voted for "yes" because gravel is rock I suppose! lol.GIF Other than that I just have driftwood and plants. smile.gif
SuSu
I have black Ecocomplete which looks just like black gravel smile.gif
