I want to glue slate and rocks together and would like some ideas as to the kind of glue that would be safe to use in my aquarium? I am scared they will tumble apart and kill my babies. Thanks,

You can also use aquarium epoxy which is more durable, comes in colors and is safe to use. This is one brand:
