Olla
Any one know where I can find myself rocks (cave like holes and crevices).
I am setting up a Malawi tank need lots of hiding place for them.
I could also do with drift wood pieces.
Hey Foxy - Go to a plant nursery, buy a bag of river pebble - the ones about closed fist size - stack them together at the back of the tank ...
If you can wait for driftwood (Mopani) I am waiting for some to arrive ...

mopani will make the water acid and you want alk water for malawis..... Also stick the rocks togeather with pratley putty - you dont want then going tumbling down
Wouldn't Pratley Putty be dangerous/toxic for the fish somehow?
Hi Foxy.Check out You tube for Malawis in natural habitat and how they act.Might give u some ideas.
Im in TableView if u wanne come pick up some substrate and rocks for Malawis.

No we use it in Marine reef tanks to secure corals to rocks.... its the two part putty that you mix and then it sets - even underwater

I have done lots of reading up on the malawi habitat. Fully aware of what they would need to stay happy.
But I have a special look in mind for the tank.
If I cant find the rocks I got in mind I guess I will have to improvise. :(
