Doesn't matter all that much...as long as they can use them to mark territory, hide between the rocks etc.

Holey rock is a popular but expensive choice...

+1 on holey rock

Personally I use lava rock cause it's easy to stack to create a lot of caves and hiding spots. Slate is another popular option because of it's stacking ability too.

+1 on the lava rock. easy to stack, make caves/tunnels/territories, and very porous for bacteria

How should I stack the rock?

Try to keep space around the tank walls, wide enough for a gravel vacuum. Then try to stack for the most caves possible.

I'm trying to keep the rocks the same and right now I have a type of sandstone or slate with quartz in it and it looks nice with the black sand, I have one other small rock and a piece of bogwood and I put some more plants in since I got more fish today

holy or lava rock are good but any stones you stack together with holes are fine. id take the bogwood out.

I think my yellow labs are nesting under the bogwood, they're extremely territorial and won't let any other fish go near it
