TopFin river rocks in aquarium?

Hi all. I was wondering what your opinion of these were. I wanted to use them to hide the anchors on some plants I'm putting in. Thanks.

I see no problem with those rocks. Are you going to silicone them? I can't tell how big they are and it'd suck if your axie tried to eat them.

Any rocks you use should be bigger than your axie's head (and remember axies grow quickly) or stuck down with silicone.
I'd say those were too small (1lb bag with 20 stones?) They might be OK for small axies, but not full grown.

And I have to point out that most of us who have had rocks have found it an absolute nightmare to clean - gunk and poo gets stuck underneath and between them.

I think that means we're good. That was just the type of rock, I actually bought a five pound container but wanted to make absolutely sure. Here is a photo showcasing my largest axie, the rocks I put in already and the smallest one I found in the bunch held next to his head for comparison.

EDIT: Also like I said they're only meant to obscure some plant anchors, there won't be the full amount nor will they be used as a substrate.
