using flowerpot as cave

[PCooper]

I want to use some flowerpot as cave, I got some in Walmart. Are those safe to use with Jaguar Cichlid? I wonder what I need to do to treat it? Will just rinseing it, good enough??

Is it a clay pot? I've used clay pots from Walmart without any problems. Just make sure you rinse and brush them good before you put them in the tank.

I assume you mean the unpainted clay pots? If you bought it brand new, you only need to rinse it off in hot water. If you break it in half, sand down the sharp edges with sandpaper or a metal file.

I have two from Walmart, and I just soaked them in hot water for a while.

I love using Terracotta pots and such for decor... i got all of mine from Home Depot and just rinsed them off good first. you can see them in my gallery!
