I am, at best, challenged when it comes to interior design, even
with aquariums. Lately, I've been culling out the plastics and
replacing them with naturals.

I'd like to also replace a Raphael Striped catfish that I lost a
while ago, and they like to hide during the day. I had a set of
plastic rocks, (Still do, actually, just not in the tank now) but
what could I find that looks more natural?

Get a clay pot at the garden store. Be sure it isn't painted or
treated. Use a utility knife to score it along the line where you
want it to break. I usually score it lightly and just whack it, the
uneven break looks more natural.
