About this item
Grey River Slate Stone (Aquascaping Rock)
Grey River Slate Stone
The Grey River Slate Stone is a versatile and elegant aquascaping material, featuring a cool grey tone with subtle brown and white speckling. Its semi-smooth texture and naturally flat profile make it ideal for stacking, allowing hobbyists to create structured layouts with ease.
This stone is perfect for building riverbeds, cliff-style hardscapes, or minimalist aquascapes, and works equally well as a supporting accent in larger tanks. Its natural look blends seamlessly into planted aquariums, terrariums, and paludariums.
Beyond aesthetics, slate is also commonly used as a spawning surface for cichlids and other egg-laying fish, making it both functional and decorative.

Top Mentions
Beautiful addition to my reef!
The fish arrived in perfect condition. Packaging was triple insulated with heat packs. Acclimation was smooth and it was eating frozen mysis within 2 hours of introduction. AquaEditorial never disappoints.
Great value for the price
Exactly as described. Fast shipping and very well packed.
Good but picky eater
Beautiful specimen, arrived healthy. Takes a while to adjust to new food but eventually started eating pellets. Great addition to my South American cichlid tank.
FAQs
What temperature should I keep the tank at for this fish?
Great question! We recommend maintaining a water temperature of 82–86°F (28–30°C). Discus are tropical fish and thrive in warm, stable water conditions. A reliable heater with a thermostat is essential.
Can I keep this with other fish in a community tank?
Yes! Discus are peaceful and social. They do best with calm tank mates like Cardinal Tetras, Rummy Nose Tetras, and Corydoras Catfish. Avoid aggressive or fast-moving fish that may stress them.
What size tank do I need for a small group?
We recommend a minimum of 55 gallons for a small group of discus. They need spacious aquariums with open swimming areas, live plants, driftwood, and gentle filtration.
What should I feed them?
Discus are omnivores and benefit from a varied diet. We recommend high-quality discus pellets, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and beef heart mixes. A varied diet helps maintain vibrant coloration.

Absolutely! All live fish are shipped with our 100% Live Arrival Guarantee. If there are any issues upon delivery, contact us within 2 hours with photos and we'll make it right.
