Re:Good terrain for an aquarium
I love to go to streams and find rocks for the tanks. Or if you have a Home Depot or Loews check out their garden stones. I look for the natural stones that are broken and ask permission to take them home. A few round ones, layers of flat slate like rocks, and you sculpt out natural looking rock formations with caves that fish like to explore, mate, spawn, or just get alone for a while. Also concider inserting java moss or java ferns on the rocks, and they will cling to it, and look great. I would however, not put stream wood in the tank; polutants, poisons, and predators can be released to your tank. Same with plants from a stream. Purchase bog wood and plants from LFS or other hobbyists. Also, use clear silicone RTV to cement rocks together, They tend to slip around when you are aquascaping. I like to build it outside, RTV it together, and on top of a large piece of slate. Then put the structure in the tank. Its fun to aquascape. Jim
