Essential Aquarium Rocks for Aquascaping: Seiryu Stone, Dragon Stone, and More

Aquascaping is not just about keeping fish—it’s about building underwater landscapes that reflect natural beauty. Among the most popular and striking materials used in aquascaping are natural stones like Seiryu Stone, Dragon Stone, and Ohko Stone. These aquarium rocks not only provide aesthetic appeal but also contribute to the overall balance and functionality of your aquatic ecosystem.

Seiryu Stone: The Premium Choice for Aquascaping

Seiryu Stone, sometimes called “Ying Stone,” is a top-tier aquascaping rock known for its bluish-gray color, dramatic ridges, and fine white veins running across the surface. It adds bold contrast and height variation in planted tanks and is ideal for creating mountain-like hardscape layouts.

  • Color: Blue-gray to dark gray

  • Surface: Textured with white mineral veins

  • Sizes: 5–12 cm, 15–40 cm, 40–70 cm

  • Uses: Iwagumi layout, mountain aquascapes, minimalist scapes

Note: Seiryu Stone can slightly raise pH and hardness, so it’s best suited for species that prefer alkaline water.

Ohko Stone: Natural Texture and Warm Tones

Ohko Stone, features a highly textured, clay-like surface with numerous crevices—perfect for attaching mosses and aquatic plants. Its earthy yellow-brown tones bring warmth and organic appeal to underwater settings.

  • Color: Light brown to tan

  • Surface: Soft, porous, and full of natural holes

  • Benefits: Lightweight and easy to scape

  • Popular Use: Ideal for nature-style aquascapes and beginner layouts

Unlike Seiryu Stone, Dragon Stone is pH-neutral and safe for all tank types.

Why Choose Natural Stones for Aquariums?

Natural aquascaping stones not only look authentic, but they also:

  • Help anchor plants and driftwood

  • Provide hiding spots for fish and shrimp

  • Support biofilm and beneficial bacteria

  • Add structure and depth to tank layouts
