Dragonstone Rock | Aquarium Decor - Per Kilo
Transform your aquarium into a breathtaking underwater landscape with Dragonstone Rock, one of the world's most popular natural aquascaping stones. Also known as Ohko Stone, Dragonstone is prized for its rugged texture, dramatic peaks, and naturally sculpted holes that resemble the scales of a dragon.
Its distinctive appearance creates stunning mountain ranges, rocky cliffs, and natural caves, making it the perfect centrepiece for planted aquariums and professional aquascapes. The textured surface provides an ideal anchor point for aquatic mosses, Anubias, Bucephalandra, and Java Fern, allowing your hardscape to develop into a lush, living landscape over time.
Dragonstone is lightweight compared to many aquarium rocks, making it easier to build stable layouts while providing plenty of shelter for fish, shrimp, and other aquatic life. Its warm earthy tones pair beautifully with driftwood, sand, and vibrant green plants to create a truly natural environment.
Whether you're building your first aquascape or competing in aquascaping contests, Dragonstone is a favourite choice for creating impressive underwater scenes.
Please note: Dragonstone is a natural product sold by weight. Every piece is unique in shape, size, colour, and texture, so the rock you receive will differ from the images shown.

Wonderworld Tip ?
Dragonstone often contains small amounts of natural clay within its crevices. Give each piece a thorough rinse and use a soft brush to remove any loose material before placing it in your aquarium. Position your largest feature stone first, then build around it using smaller stones to create a balanced, natural-looking landscape.
