However, many of us are nervous about introducing unknowns into the tank. Stock is far more expensive than buying wood or rocks from an aquarium shop that you know would be safe. I am sure that someone else will be able to tell you if it is safe for the tank. I am sure it is very interesting looking and will look cool if you use it, all the best for your tank make-over. ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~ |

I beleive it floats too. Overall, I'd say try something different... PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread. |
