I have 2 ornaments in new tank i took out of another one,I cleaned it real good before putting them in there,but my new fish keep nibbling only on these 2 ornaments.Is that ok or is there something on ornaments from last tank I didnt get off that may be harmful?
 
What kind of ornaments are they?

If they are made for home aquaria, it's probably just fine.
 
If they're not made for aquariums, they could be harmful. Toxins could leech out of the objects and poison your water, or at the least alter your pH. I'd take them out just to be safe.
 
It's possible that there's something growing on the ornaments that the fish like. I wouldn't worry about it if they're aquarium ornaments.
