I would like to put a lego aquarium ornament in my aquarium.It is made of grey,black and one clear colored piece.Will it harm my fish?

Should be fine. Just wash it beforehand. Don't use soap.

I've had caves and all made of lego in my tanks as long as it's proper lego it's perfectly fine, if you actually go in the website it says somewhere it's made aquarium safe, they have a huge theme under water at lego land too,

You may need to weigh whatever you putting in down as lego does float

What is safe to use as a weight?

Rocks work well

Tie a rock to the bottom with some fishing line. Should work alright, bury the rock in the substrate.

You could use one of the Lego base plates and attach the decorations to that. Then just add substrate over it.

Anything that is deemed safe for a child to put in its mouth should do your fish fine post some pics when you're done! If anything other than plants, rocks, dw and fish are going in a tank... Legos!!!

I weighed mine down with some glass ice cubes, jut make sure that if you put something on top that fish won't knock it off and hurt themselves

I'll be posting pics of mine when I've finished it as it going to be a new home for my corys, the good thing about lego is that you can do whatever design you want

Just a note, I have heard that if you are able to build the pieces underwater, you will have far less issues with them attempting to float to the surface because you will have far fewer trapped air bubbles.

That is a good idea!

As long as the final product isn't too big. Though, the larger the piece, the more air bubbles you will get and the harder it can be to weigh down.
