I believe they have the 1/4" size.

As far as size and shape of the stone, they are very similar. Will this work? I assumed that the pea gravel was much smoother until I went to the HD and looked at what they had. Their product is shaped much like the crushed granite I spoke of earlier.

I can purchase the crushed granite for $40 a yard making the cost around $175 per 16' x 16' box.

The crushed granite is too rough. Think of the fish fanning their fins over the bed, both to make the bed and to oxygenate the eggs. Would you want to be moving your hand over the crushed gravel for a few days or over the rounded pea gravel?
