Hey gang...

I have a piece of decor in one of my tanks that I bought at PetCo, which is a replica rock statue type thing. Anyway, I am noticing that the paint is coming off . I am asuming that the paint is non-toxic and fish safe, but cant be completely sure.

Do you think it will harm the fish in any way? What about ingesting it? Do you think if its non-toxic the fish will just pass it thru?

Dino

Personally, if the paint is coming off, I would remove it.

My thoughts exactly....

I am just worried about the fish who may have consumed it...

Dino

Unless it tasted like food, they probably just sucked it in and then spit it right back out.
Hopefully with no ill effects.

K...

I guess its off to the LFS tomorrow... I am going to get some real rock that I can stack instead... any suggestions? Its a community tank, so I do not want anything that will adversely alter water parameters.

this is the tank, the decor in question is the one dead center... I want to replicate that as much as possible with the new rock.
