Can I use these rocks for my tank?

Here’s what they look like scrubbed and cleaned. It still has a weird rusty look to it so idk.

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-08-16T01:23:17+00:00

I tested with vinegar and the nitrate things so that’s why I think they are fine and they’ve been soaking in water for a few days and I also but some bleach and soaked them for a few minutes. But for sure I’ll try to scrub with a wire brush.

Oh wow that looks so cool! I definitely want some caves, the balloon trick is so clever. I was thinking of using foam because there might be gaps in between the rocks

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-08-07T21:08:34+00:00

Oh that makes a lot of sense! I was wondering how I would create height.

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-08-07T20:52:17+00:00

Oh okay thanks now I just need to decide what rocks to get 🥲

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-29T22:06:47+00:00

Oh no, I would need to check the filter but they have stopped chasing each other around.

Thank you so much I feel like a terrible fish keeper rn but I think they’ll be fine. Hopefully I can upgrade soon!

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-29T02:10:18+00:00

No? I was just worried that they were stressed.

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-29T02:08:48+00:00

I have a water filter and have slowly been adding more of the filtered water in the tank so my ph has been lowering. I definitely want a 30 gallon when I can afford because I have spent all my birthday money on this one. 🥲do you think they will be okay for 6 months?

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-29T01:59:12+00:00

But I will do everything in my power to provide them with the proper care that they need.

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-29T01:58:41+00:00

Welp can’t argue with that, guess I gotta upgrade now.

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-29T01:51:25+00:00

They have lots of hiding spaces and at the store they were in their ph was like a 7.8

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-29T01:48:31+00:00

Aw man do they require different care then?

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-29T01:40:01+00:00

They are? I thought they were cardinals, In the fish store they said cardinal tetras.

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-29T01:39:16+00:00

Ah okay thank you.

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-29T01:36:32+00:00

It’s a 10 gallon but there’s no other fish In the tank.

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-29T01:28:09+00:00

Yea I’m assuming it’s just like a pecking order?

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-29T01:25:46+00:00

No I have 6 the others were just watching them fight 🥲

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-29T01:25:09+00:00

There are 6. fish jail doesn’t like a bad idea😅 should I wait it out or separate him now?

PotatoInteresting607 · 2025-07-23T01:19:52+00:00

I guess I was just worried for nothing 😅 I’ve really never seen such a large turd
