Who Gives A Fish Forums

Yeah, or just toss 'em in and blame the fish if things go south. Kidding again. Mostly.

Why not just chuck the rock in and see what happens? Live dangerously. Kidding, kinda. But seriously, if it fizzes, it's bad news. If not, you're probably good. My Gouramis survived my sketchy rock phase, so there's that.

Thanks for the reassurance, I was probably overthinking it, but better safe than sorry, right?

Been wondering about this lately, got me thinking of getting a new test kit.

My tank's got a RTBS (adult), a Bristlenose plec (adult), 10 harlequin rasbora (getting on a bit, nearly 5 years old), and a bunch of assassin snails (started with just 2).

Plant-wise, I've got a few Anubis varieties ...
