The Aqua One Argillite Rock (11 × 6.5 × 15cm) is a natural rock piece from Aqua One's Natural Ornaments range, ideal for aquascaping water bowls, patio ponds and small water features. It is fish safe and plant safe, so you can use it with pond fish, shrimp and aquatic plants.

Argillite is a fine-grained sedimentary stone formed from compacted clay and silt, giving it a smooth, weathered character and natural layered edges. Its taller, upright shape adds height and a sense of scale to small water bowls.
