    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 ...

    Wouldn't Pratley Putty be dangerous/toxic for the fish somehow?

    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. :(
