Which rocks & cheapest place to buy

Which rocks are safe to use in shrimp tanks?

 

Yuan 

Yingshi

Honey Comb

Red/Yellow Strat

Shill

Seiryu

 

I know rocks like Granites, Slate and Lava rock are safe for shrimp tanks.

While Texas Holey rock and "Lace rock" is not.

I'm not too sure about the ones above.

 

I think Seiryu, might be safe ... isn't this used in Iwagumi setups?

 

I've heard rumour that Yingshi is a type of limestone from china, and might increase hardness and/or pH.

 

Seiryu is now near impossible to buy, since Japan stopped mining it.

So I'm looking for an alternative that is inert and won't change water parameters.

Any other rocks apart from this list that looks like Seiryu?

 

If you have bought any of these rocks in Sydney, let me know.

What is tibetan mountain rock?

Apart from the name suggesting it might be from Tibet.

 

 

Couple of problems with getting it from AOA.

Min 20kg, and it's not in Sydney. I'd like to hand pick, so gotta be in Sydney.
