What's the best type of rocks to use in a turtle tank? Looking for something that is easy to clean w/ a typical fish tank cleaner. My boyfriend has 2 mississippi mud's, and we used the typical aquarium gravel in the tank, but the small broken pieces make cleaning it well a pain. We were thinking of switching to larger rocks for the bottom. Any suggestions?

Also, is there a good way to keep algae out of the tank? He's added a pair of plecos to try and combat the algae, but they seem more interested in leftover turtle food than cleaning the tank :/

Last but not least ~ What's the best food option for mud's? We've been feeding these guys the sticks, but I read somewhere that those aren't best for them? We had tried feeder fish in the past, but those suckers would just breed and we'd end up w/ so many fish... and the turtles didn't eat them.

Thanks in advance for any help!
