houston     Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003  | I don't think I would...not because of if it breaks apart...don't think it would; but because of the sharp edges that some of the crystals might have that a fish could hurt themselves on...just my opinion though...

FRANK  Moderator Posts: 5108 Kudos: 5263 Votes: 1690 Registered: 28-Dec-2002  | Hi Geodes are fine for the aquarium...However, the "look" that they have initially, will soon disappear as the detritus settles between the crystals. Scrubbing them with a brush may get some of it out but over time, it won't look as great as when you started. Frank  -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<-- |
