that is a good idea but definitly boil anything rocks included that are found outdoors.. for pestiside residue and bacteria and parasites... otherwise you will introduce something into your tank..aquaculture;3669601; said:
mine sleeps upside down and hides behind an ornament i can see his tail and if i want to see it i turn off the white light and turn on the tube.
My glass knife likes to hide between the leaves of an amazon sword plant and my ABK has staked out a cave that I bought at PetsMart. I also have several other PetsMart ornaments which my other nocturnal have claimed as homes.

that is a good point...if you get them from the middle of a remote location it might not be as important though...alot depends on the collection point...ex. i got all my big rocks for my 180gal from 2 miles deep in the north woods of MN so i didn't boil them and had no issuses, on the other hand if you take them from your neighbors garden or their sidewalk edging then boiling would be nessisary...rise all rock regardless of the collection point as they normally are filthy...
yah i know to disinfect with boling water, i could also since it is winter get them cold, and with boiling water crack, and break up larger rocks, for instance large round rock brocken to have a flat side with hot water and then grind the sharp edges down.
