In Reply to: Should I bother with rocks in the tank for my rosy? posted by Nicodemus on March 04, 2003 at 15:37:06:
I could actually use some advice on this subject too. Since the "duct tape incident" I better not assume anything!
Nicodemus, I don't see any problem with flat rocks on the bottom. I wouldn't stack anything though.
I just put a very large rock in my Rosy's tank (20 gallon). It's really pretty cool looking - it's odd shaped - the top is curved on one side going from the base to a high point, then almost drops on the other side (like a triangle with a curve). But it also has a tunnel that goes all the way through the base. It doesn't move or shift and is very heavy (originally bought it for my African Cichlid tank but it didn't look right with the rest of the decor). The tunnel underneath narrows quite a bit in the middle so I am going to try to file it down to make the tunnel larger. She fits now okay, but don't want any problems when she gets bigger.
From your question, Nicodemus, you've made me question my own set up:) I don't want to be sorry again! Thanks!
: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?
