i live in wa, and went into the mountains today. pulled these rocks out of the river.

i have rummy nose, german rams, and a pleco. i dont have any vinegar to run a test, but i was going to use a toothbrush and some dawn soap and scrub the rocks clean before i put them in there

thanks! the reason why i picked that one up is because when it was under water it was really blue/green, which you can almost tell just by it being dry

all of those rocks look way cooler when theyre wet!

If you have a way to test for hardness you could put the rocks in a test soak for a few days to see if the hardness rises. The best would be to run that with each rock individually so you don't have to guess which one raised the hardness if that is to happen.
