Aqua One Ornament Rock Argillite 20x11x23.5cm h

The Aqua One Argillite Rock (20 × 11 × 23.5cm) 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. Standing over 23cm tall, it makes a dramatic focal point that can rise above the waterline in shallow bowls.
