using flowerpot as cave - Aquarium Advice

PCooper · 12-27-2005, 03:28 PM

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.
