[AquaticLife] where do i find rounder rocks
Here in NJ and I’ve definitely seen this in CA landscapers use rounded “river” rocks as mulch or groundcover. Often these are pebble-size and you may prefer rocks anywhere from fist to head-sized. But I HAVE seen very large “river” rocks used as well.every time I walk into my local Barnes and Noble I’m scanning the ground and wondering if anyone would notice if I grabbed this one or that one, LOL!
Landscaper supply.river rocks. I’ve also seen rounded stone sold by landscape or mason suppliers called “cobbles”.
Look for the suppliers that the landscapers/masons get their rock from.

When you say “the local places”, are you checking local gardening centers and landscape companies? They should certainly carry everything from pea gravel on up as far as rounder rocks are concerned. If you are talking about local fish stores, they are probably carrying what their customers… maybe cichlid keepers… want and/or need. I’m not sure if the Home Depot garden centers sell much as far as varying sizes of rocks but they do sell bags of pea gravel.
Here are some pages about aquarium rocks. You’ll see some conflicting info about sandstone/limestone type rocks.
