Today while at the beach i picked up a handfull of small pebbles, no bigger then pennies, in the thoughts of putting them in with my betta, and maybe a few to my goldie tank. Since they came from the sea i wondered, so (bum bum bum bum!) i did some research on koko's about it. All i found was a topic on sea SHELLS, but none about Ocean (Sea) pebbles.

My question, is it safe to put them in after boiling/disinfecting them?

I've been collecting river rocks from a nearby river, scrubbing them and then boiling them and putting them in with my goldies and they do fine. I think as long as you do all these steps it should be OK. I assume the same would apply to the ocean pebbles.

I washed them off with hot water and let them sit. I'll boil them now too, thanks JinLamb.

sorry, this is off of your topic, but why no sea shells?
-just curious....

Here i'll get a link to the post topic about seashells for you grain... http://www.kokosgoldfish.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=460 there you go.

cool, thank you!

No problem!

Well i've boiled them and have put them in with my betta. Little guy loves swimming in them.

soak in bleach for a couple of days.. then boil them in heavily salted water to be more effective in cleaning them up..

cheers
