Cons:
- Planting difficulty: The larger size of the pebbles (4-6mm) can make it difficult to plant aquatic plants securely, as they may not provide enough support for their roots.
- Debris trapping: The spaces between the pebbles can trap dirt, debris, and fish waste, which can lead to poor water quality if not cleaned regularly.
- Potential ingestion: Some bottom-feeding fish may try to eat the pebbles, which can cause digestive problems.

Things to consider before using:
- Aquarium type: Zambesi Mix Pebbles are suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
- Fish compatibility: Avoid using these pebbles with bottom-feeding fish prone to ingesting gravel, such as loaches or catfish.
