    It's harder to stack than whatever rock you have now, I bet your rock is either base or Fiji.

    Kip is right. It's virtually impossible to stack. It would just look like a big pile of sticks unless you used rods or glue to form it the way you want. Not to mention hard to find any of decent quality, and then it's going to be very expensive unless you find an individual desperate to get out of the hobby. If you want branchy looking that's still in "rock shapes" there are several alternatives that are easier to stack. I just put some in my tank Wednesday.

    Ehh well I was thinking it was easier after seeing a video from the guy that recommended this site to me. I think his name is TheBettaMaster on youtube, and seeing his tank with tonga made me think it was kind of easy. Besides it looked nice the way he aquascaped it

    Except maybe stacking Tonga branch ;)

    If you look at TheBettaDude's tank, it's a cube (I can't tell the size & watched with sound off) and it's not really stacked like you would stack other rock. Doesn't look bad like that in a cube. Do you have a cube tank or a regular tank?

    I'd also like to see pics of your rock!
