Aquarium Advice FINatic
I Have a 20G aquarium with platies and guppies and I was wondering if terra cotta flowers pots are safe for my fish? I have read online that they don't effect water chemistry but I have also read the opposite.

librarygirl said:Thanks for asking this question, I was curious about this too! So I guess the ones sold at craft stores like Michael's are OK as long as they aren't glazed (and how can you tell)? And a good wash in hot water would be enough? Just want to triple check.
