Is it okay to use hot glue on a fishtank decoration?

One of the fake plants on my decoration broke, is it ok to use hot glue to stick it back on? Is it safe for a fishtank?

I've used it in the past and had no problems doing so.

It is hard to say if your particular glue is safe.

Cyanoacrylate super glue is safe for aquarium use.

this is what I have, it doesn't specify what type of glue it is

I’d be safe and go with a trusted brand like krazy glue which is what I use
Although I would guess that’s fine as well

Hot glue is just plastic that’s melted then dries hard. it’s aquarium safe, but not at all a strong glue especially when it’s underwater. It doesnt hold anything together lol. I would figure out a way to repair your decor with superglue if you really want it to stay.
