55 gallon tank with new caves

55 gallon tank with new caves, last week i did a job and had some flat rocks ship in from PA left over.
i removed most of the white gravel and added some more black rock and the new slate from PA.
we had some bait left over from last weeks fishing trips now there pets.
the caves helped with fish picking at each other.

UPDATE,well the new rocks didn't harm my fish, i did soak them for a few days in buckets of water.
i was a little more then worried about the new rock being from PA and not knowing much more then that.
it took a fool day for the fish to calm down after the major tank change and new fish.
you gotta love natives they adjust and start feeding real fast.

Nice tank and pic! Is that Hornwort I see growing in the middle and on the right?

Yes Brian it is.
Skipjack,Truf and I collected it this spring ice was still on.
plant was about 9" i had two sprigs and they have grown.
if i had more i would add it to my other tanks.i like it.
we also collected duck weed but it all froze and didn't make it home.

Our fish like the new rocks and everyone has settled in now.
catfish all stay in bottom 1/3rd of water colum
sunfish and shiners stay in upper 2/3rd most of the time
fathead minnows stay in the middle.
