Yes it would work but lava rock is sharp and if fish scrap it they can get cut

Yeah! My java ferns, moss, and Anubis love to attach to it more than any other type of rock/driftwood that I have!

Just be careful because like a Pp said, it is sharp and if a fish gets too close it can injure them. I've not had that problem in the years I've used it, but I figure it's bound to happen eventually with someone. Just hope it's not too severe when it does.
