I would recommend boiling the rocks first, because if a foreign bacteria gets in your tank it could prosper and wipe out your population.
But yes, you could do this
and its possible that it would make it harder, likely, but im not very sure.

Can any1 tell me if I can fill my tanks up with rocks from the beach after iv boild them or if ther a sertan amount I can only put in?

 

[lilfishie]

i didn't think you was supposed to boil rocks incase they explode?, i just washed mine and left them soaking for a few days in kettle water

But no1 is answering my q can I fill my ciclid tanks wid rocks that cum frm the beach or is ther a certan amount that I cn only put in?

The obvious answer is that the more rocks you put in, the less water, and consequently, the less fish you can have.

Oh, and you are allowed more than 140 characters in a post on here!
