	Coconut Halves
cjp Hobbyist Posts: 145 Kudos: 43 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Jan-2001	I just split open a coconut and now have two halves.I'm baking both halves to help remove the meat.(360 Degrees at 20 min.)Would I have to boil the shells after I get all the meat out?I want to use the shells as a place for my yo yo loaches to hide in.I want to make these safe to use in my tank.Any thoughts on my steps so far?

You should probably soak them in water for a while before you put them in your tank though, to get out excess tannins and to help them sink. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
