So I was just doing a water change and vacuum gravel and I noticed a huge chunk of paint or whatever you Wanna call it coming off the inside of one of my decorations now its in little bits floating all around the tank...it won't hurt the fish will it? I'm assumings the filter will get most of it but why would the paint come off??
 
Happens to my tank decor. I have not noticed any ill effects. Take whatever pieces off the decor.
 
Yes, the decor will wear down. IMO, it should not be toxic to our finned friends. But use your best judgment. If it gets to a certain point, replace it, don't risk it.
