My 10 gallon has always been my experimental tank. At one point in time it had maybe 3 gallons of water, an island and only a baby turtle and baby crayfish inhabiting it. Now it has 3 crayfish, 2 Eastern Mudminnows and a bunch of trapdoor snails. The bioload especially with 3 crayfish is a bit high but I have 2 filters in it and 2 of the 3 crayfish are temporary tenants. I decided to stop wasting all of the rocks I've collected and put in a plastic jar and put them in the tank. The water is cloudy in some of the pictures but it cleared up very nicely. There is rock in here from Vermont,New Jersey and California.

It looks great! I've always been a fan of crayfish, mudminnows, and rock piles, so this tank is definitely right up my alley!

Thanks, Mudminnows are some of my favorite fish. I'm actually incapable of walking along a stream,river or lakeshore without flipping over any rock I come across or if it's cool looking and I can carry it in my hand it comes with me lol.

Thanks,someday I'm going to take some nice courses in Geology at a community college so I can know what some of the rock I'm collecting is. I pretty much have a magpie mentality right now for rocks. If it's pretty or unusually shaped I grab it.
