Re: Texas Holey Rock

I am headed to Austin this coming weekend to pick up a shipment of fish and hopefully pick up some holey rock as well.

Does anyone know where in Austin I could pick some up (from the ground, not a fish store or landscape store)?

There is a big HEB on 38th street that has several large pieces landscped in the paking lot. Aside from that, there is a bunch in Zilker Park. They kinda frown upon you taking it though.

:wink: I asked.

wait till the auction, you can score rocks anywhere from $1 to $50, most go for around $5 to $10 for good size & nice looking rocks, there is a gentleman and his wife that brings super nice rocks to the auction. I got sereval of theirs in my tanks right now. Their rocks go for a little more $25-$45 each but they are high end of the spectrum, but well worth it in comparsion to what they weigh and what you pay. Still is alot cheaper than the store. I got one of theirs that is about 50+lbs and paid $45 for it, since you have obivously looked for some, you know that you can't find an average looking rock for less than 1.50 a lbs. I know it is hard to wait, but you will find some there, and you don't have to break open the piggy bank to get a couple.

Re: Texas Holey Rock

I'm going to take a shot in the dark, but I think sooner is referring to HAS.  

LHA is Sat. the 17th and HAS is Sun. the 18th.  I plan to attend both, but will prolly be too broke after going to the LHA to buy anything at HAS....LOL.

Re: Texas Holey Rock

Theres some holey rock for 17.5cents/lb on I-45, junction 68/69? (Southbound just before Louetta) i think the place is called I-45 Soil. The rock is still dirty, and i didnt really look through it for nice pieces. The guy who owns it claims he sells to several of the fish stores in houston.

Good call rocket, I did mean the HAS, sorry, I thought the other was a swap and not an auction. My bad.

Re: Texas Holey Rock

Re: Texas Holey Rock

Ninja poster!

I have heard of lots of nursery's and rock yards that offer holey rock but i don't think most are actualy holey.

Re: Texas Holey Rock

I think the same thing as ek, the rock yards on my side of town say it is holey rock, but it looks more like dented or pitted rock and not holey. I don't know bout y'all but if it is to be called holey rock I should be able see light through the holes in the rock, not a rock that looks like someone dropped it one too many times and a few pieces of the rock broke off, so it now called holey because a few chunks fell of the rock.
