I got some real nice rock from the local Molybdenum mine. White quarts with a 1/2" seam of moly. Any dangers to freshwater fish? barb's, Tetra's and swordtail?

Thx in advance

Neat piece of rock. No idea about the properties of molybdenum in FW though, but it sure looks neat. :)

Having said that though, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with it in my tank. For me, I figure if I don't know for sure, it's safer to err on the side of caution.

Generally any matalic has strong potential to be bad in an aquarium!!! I would take it out if it were me...You might be ok in a freshwater tank, but I wouldn't take the chance.

You might be right. My older Tiger Barb, he never was as energetic, not ate much like the others, he Passed just after I took some pictures today. Rock is now removed. lets hope no more pass
