Best Answer

Rocks are not needed for a planted freshwater aquarium.

You need good substrate for the plants though. Gravel might do just fine if they are not too big. Many pet stores sell special substrate for planted aquariums. Eco-complete is one of the better plant substrate with rich in iron and other minerals.
