I was thinking about adding rocks to give my aquarium more natural look. I heard that limestone is a no go in fish tanks. Can anyone recommend what kind of rocks that will not cause harm to my fish? I've taken a gander at the aquarium ornaments in the LFS but they all appear very fake or in neon colors.
 
Slate, granite, quartz are all good for the aquarium. Just make sure you test them with vinegar before using them. If you put a couple of drops of vinegar on the rock and it fizzes then it is not suitable for the aquarium as it will increase your PH. HTH :)
