Hi
Firstly,why star wars?
Secondly,you should really only add things designed specificly for aquaria.
Ask yourself these questions.
1)What material are they made of.(is it toxic to fish)?
2)Are they painted (are the paints/dyes toxic)?
3)How often do fish encounter Luke Skywalker et al,in their natural habitat)?

I believe you still think it is april fools day :wink:

I've already seen this in another forum, or maybe it was here; regardless, it seems to be a bit of a joke. If you want to put a bunch of plastic crap in with your fish beware of the consequenses.

Algae would be the least of the consequenses. The greatest of the consequenses: dead fish.

Im not a troll, and this isnt a joke. I wanted to create an original design for my fish tank. I check with the guy at my fish store and he said he had the whole Castle Gray skull in a fish tank.

Thanks in advance!
You put things in your tank that will make your fish, more comfortable. Forget about what you would like to see in there, Try to replicate their natural environment. I think you will have happier fish.

Use the force Luke!
