Should I bother with rocks in the tank for my rosy?

I have two nice flat rocks that I was originally going to stack to make the second hide box as well as a place to climb, but then I read about the horrors of shifting stones and young snakes under them.

I want to feed inside the tank and I was going to feed on top of the larger rock.
And since its also nice to have something kinda rocky for a snake to rub against for shedding, I figured a nice flat rock would be ok.


Would there be any problems if the rocks are flat on the bottom of the tank, with no nooks to crawl under, and the rock in is in the middle of the tank so the snake can't get pinned between the sides of the rock and tank?
