Small mirror inside tank?

I thought of an idea of putting a small mirror (like hand mirror) inside a tank like decoration. The platies can swim around it and see their neighbours in the mirror.

But I do not know if it's safe thing to do.

I know about the mirror placed behind the tank but I don't want it to reflect whole tank, and they couldn't swim around it. I just thought putting a small mirror inside would be little fun.

 

You would have to make sure there aren't any sharp edges for them to scrape/cut themselves on. the platies would think there are lots of them

On another note for anyone who has a Betta it's not a good idea for Betta tanks. They will exhaust themselves flaring all the time.

+1 to Butterfly.
You also need to consider the "silvering" on the back of the mirror could be toxic.

Thank you. "silvering" have me a little nervous. The mirrors I have have plastic on back, though?

 

you could put it on the outside. I have done that before.
