I. Beautifying the Fish Tank Landscape
1. **Unique Texture and Color**
The surface of Snowflake Stone usually has white or light - colored textures, resembling snowflakes or cloud patterns. With its fine texture, it can add a natural and elegant visual effect to the fish tank. It is especially suitable for creating a fresh and natural style or a Zen - like water landscape when paired with aquatic plants and driftwood.
2. **Flexible Landscaping**
According to the size of the stones, they can be stacked or arranged into shapes such as rockeries and stone beaches, increasing the three - dimensionality of the fish tank, simulating natural riverbeds or rock landforms, and enhancing the ornamental value.

 II. Regulating Water Quality and Ecology
1. **Hardness and Mineral Supplementation**
The main components of Snowflake Stone are calcium carbonate or gypsum - like minerals. After slowly dissolving in water, it can slightly increase the water hardness (GH) and pH value, making it suitable for fish that prefer weakly alkaline hard water, such as cichlids from the three African Great Lakes and koi.
2. **Attachment of Microorganisms**
The rough and porous surface of the stone can provide attachment space for beneficial microorganisms such as nitrifying bacteria, promoting the establishment of the nitrification system in the fish tank, assisting in decomposing organic matter, and purifying the water quality.

 III. Providing a Habitat for Fish
1. **Hiding and Breeding Places**
The gaps between the stacked Snowflake Stones can serve as hiding places for small fish, shrimps, and snails, reducing the stress response of fish caused by nervousness or fights. It also provides an attachment surface for egg - laying fish to lay eggs.
2. **Beak - Grinding and Claw - Grinding**
Some fish (such as cichlids and cleaning fish) will nibble on the algae on the stone surface or use the stone to rub their beaks and fins. Snowflake Stone has a relatively soft texture, which can meet their physiological needs and avoid damaging the fish body.
