Not safe? That's what I use all the time and no PH crashes since. If I
had acid water/soft water fish I wouldn't use them.

===================
ok i guess i thought limestore would cause problems with the PH, i have
some neat rocks in my yard, and i am setting up the female betta tank and
would like to put some in there for hiding and just because i think it
would look neat.

Limestone can make the water harder and more alkaline which you don't want
for bettas. Use the stones from the store.

I don't think the stones I have are limestone, they look more like
cobblestone, they are gray/brown, completely smooth, like rock or like the
kind you buy to put around flower pots and things like that.
