chiclid decor
well i was reading that chiclids like to have a very rocky habitat and i decided ill try and fulfill that for them
i want to try and take some rocks from my backyard, clean them off well and then try and stack them with some holes for them im keeping in mind that they r diggers and the rocks may fall so i think ill get some aquarium sealant from the hardware store. any other suggestions that will help me pull this off and have it looking well?

Make sure the rocks are completely clean. You can use aquarium safe silicone to seal them together. I'd pour vinegar over them and if they aren't too porous, I'd bleach them and then rinse very well and add declorinator when I added them to the tank.
