Hello,

What would you guys say is the going price per pound for large river rocks (something around 15-25 lb rocks) and for smaller river rocks?

Re: Price of Rocks

Depends on where you go if you go to a stone company it will be in the 10-15 cents a lb.

Methylene blue is used in aquaculture and by tropical fish hobbyists as a treatment for fungal infections. It can also be effective in treating fish infected with ich, the parasitic protozoa Ichthyophthirius multifiliis. It is usually used to protect newly laid fish eggs from being infected by fungus or bacteria. This is useful when the hobbyist wants to artificially hatch the fish eggs. Methylene Blue is also very effective when used as part of a "medicated fish bath" for treatment of ammonia, nitrite, and cyanide poisoning as well as for topical and internal treatment of injured or sick fish

:confused: Did I miss something? How did we get on the subject of Methylene Blue? We were discussing rocks... not fish medication. :crazy:  LOL!!!! Or ,were you trying to say that Methylene Blue is what caused the Holey Rock to become blue?

Some people have short attention span.... coming from a person always quick to point out others being off-topic.

Re: Price of Rocks

I goto the soil supermarket in Katy and bought 116 lbs of Mexican pebble rock.  25c/lbs  Total cost was like $32 and some change
All I did was wash them and they went into my tank.
