Hi guys, just a couple of questions..
My next tanks will have a couple hideaways... i want to keep the bettas entertained... So i was wondering if i could get some ceramic figures to put in the tank. They wont be painted, just the plain white figure... something kinda like this:

not that figure, but just so you can get an idea. I believe they come out of the oven like this... no paint at all i assume it is safe.... is it?
Thanks guys, i really appreciate it!

i think it should be ok, and i think some of the agle will grow on the figure too.
i bet it will look nice on it.

thanks, that's what i was thinking.. to give it kinda like a ruin sort of look... now i need to find the right kind of figure LOL
i was thinking of a budha... or maybe pyramids... like hispanic pyramids

Hello Tony. I think it would be fine as well. Will be looking forward to photos once you're all set up!
Happy Halloween!

Tony,

I have some that came with my goldfish tank. They are perfectly safe. My goldies love them, too.

One thing is make sure they're not plaster... that wouldn't be good to put in a tank...

Some good ornaments to put in tanks are made by AQUA ONE. I have old greek ruins in mine like the sculptured pillars falling onto each other. Looks cool with my greek goddess backing. will post pics soon.

That type of ceramics is called (I believe) bisque-fired ceramic. It has been fired so it should not dissolve in the water, but it also has not been painted or glazed.
