since the old cave for my festae is too small for its size and it keeps on collapsing, my jar has been picking on the festae alot lately. i went to some lfs to look for some decent large rocks only to find they'll cost me a fortune...FOR ROCKS!!! :irked: so when i went to big bear last week and spotted nice rocks of all sorts of shapes and sizes all over. i just had to stop and grab a couple of 'em, and they turn out lookin real nice :naughty:

kick ass tank...seriusly...lovin it, what size? Your arow is fat, love the gt...pimp..
 
Shssss... dont let out the secret that expensive pet shop rocks are .. JUST ROCKS :D. You know... like Mountains are made out of ;)

I'm allways on the lookout for interesting rocks when I'm on trips as well, and have even been known to stop and pick a neat one up from a road cutting before too.

Cheers

cool rocks. Whats that bright red fish? its beautiful!
 
Any special process to clean the rocks before putting them in your tank? I live very near to a very clean creek, and I often wonder if I should do anything specific before arranging the rock I find in my tank. I usually just rinse 'em in the bathtub! lol Good lookin tank! Props!
 
Nice, I'm always on the look out for rocks and drift wood when I'm out in the world.
 
nice!!! i'm actually going boarding in big bear for new years, i'll have to remember to look for some rocks as well.

thx man, the tank is a 85g, 6'x18"x15". it's getting too small for my jar, so i'm moving them to my new 180g as soon as i find a place to move to ;)

the red fish is a female festae aka true red terror, and imo, their color is as good as fresh water fishes get ^^

umm, not to any specific. since i picked up these on the mountain, they're from natural environment, w/o exposure to chemicals etc...so i just soak 'em in water for a day then rinsed 'em and brushed off the dirt. but if u r picking up rocks from a creek, then u might wanna do a good job cleanin...cuz they might have parasites/diseases. i just put 'em in the water tank of my toilet, so they get cleaned every time i flush. and plus, the chlorine of the tap water would kill the germs wutever. after a few days, i'll just soak 'em in a bucket of aquarium water for a while then drop 'em in my tank :)
