Almost forgot about this thread! Thanks everyone. I'm actually working on his 225 right now. Bought 150 pounds of rock yesterday from the local landscaping supply yard.
You should be very proud he is beautiful! always liked the black belt cichlid.
I got tons of nice rocks just around my neighbourhood. they have like a alleyway behind the houses where you park at the back,a nd its all gravel but there are some huge stones lying around near the sides, I just gathered some!
I've gathered rocks before but it's been pouring rain here and it's muddy so I didn't want to bother. Plus they had piles about 10 feet tall of rocks in different sizes. And they were 8 cents a pound.
