No rule. What kind of look you achieving?

No idea as yet, was just seeing if I had a min within reason on the amount of rock I needed to use. Thank you for response.

You can use as much of as little as you wish the more hiding places made with rocks or caves the better.

Thank you.

Take a look at ceramic caves, they fit in well and you can cover them in lava rock.

Thank you for the above,
i have a bunch of neocaridina tanks, but opaes are so diffrent, :D
From reading threw this site, and a few other bits, i might try somthing a little diffrent, and just go with a rock wall on the rear of the jar, and the cave built into the base of the wall. i liked that idea.

Now the hard part, to find a 8-10l strait walled jar with lid.

when i finaly get started, i am sure i will be posting a bunch of questions and show off photos( best part of any forum:D

Thank you again for the help.

What country are you based in? Maybe we can help you find a tank/jar.. does it need to be a cylinder or can it be a cube/cuboid?

Im in the uk, Getting a cube tank is easy, I have both a 10 and 30 in the loft, i just have a thing for jarrariums at the moment, so would like to try keep the theme going if i can.

Ikea has some nice cylinders you can use.
