Could I use these in my fishtank?

Post by Gazy »

So I was at a local garden centre and I saw these two items and my first thought was, "I wonder if these could go in my fish tank with my featherfin's?"

One is glass, the other is ceramic.

Would there be some preparation required before putting them into the tank?

Obviously I'd remove the stuff out of the glass one. Or could I plant some moss or something in there?

The ceramic ones are pretty big, but look like they would make a great cave/hideout .

You should be able to use them both with no issues at all.
Glass is easy, just clean it well and make sure that it does not break in the tank!
The ceramic should be fine also. I use flowerpots in my tanks with no issues. I do soak them in water for a couple days before I put them in the tanks and have never had an issue.
Good luck.

That's great to know! Thank you! 😊

Another question, the plants that are in the glass apple,are any of them suitable for use in the aquarium?

Just wondering if I could repurpose some of them some how?
