The beach shells would raise KH/GH, et cetera, and Kribs like acidic water...not sure that they would be the best idea, as Skittyfish said.

Plain small gravel is fine. You can use coconut shell, or 3-4 inch clay pots (I soak mine to make them soft and then take pliers and break of a bit for an entrance, and put them big end into the gravel.) Plants are good, you could have Java moss, java fern, anubias...anything low light, unless you have a lot of light.
They prefer (from what I have read) soft, acidic water. I keep my temp at 78 F.

. Whatever you use, just do it gently or you will shatter the whole pot. You can also use a Dremel tool and cut a bigger hole from the bottom.
