I have some decorative rocks in my tank that I’m wondering if they’re too bright. Tank is not ready for fish yet as I’m still getting new plants introduced

If it’s something you’re really worried about, they get duller with time. (Algae biofilm ect.) Don’t know if there’s such thing as a rock that’s “too bright”

If Bettas were that easy to stress out, 90% of them would’ve kicked the bucket by now. You only have to look at the shitty tanks the majority live in ;). Good on you for caring, though.”

I like the rocks. My main concern with found rocks though is leeching calcium and other minerals into the water which can mess with your water hardness in a very real way. The way I test my rocks is to pour vinegar on them before I boil them. If the vinegar fizzes (listen closely to it), then there is an abundance of calcium in your rock and it would be best left out of the scape. But no, the rocks are cool and pretty.

The expression is “dumber than a box of rocks”, so no.
