I have been looking at ornaments over the last weeks.
My fishtanks quite empty so i thought id put in this good looking pot.

Its in the tank at the moment but im worried about the pots glazing around it.

Could the glazing cause any problems for my fish?

i think as long as the pot has'nt been exposed to any chemicals i.e had plants in it and had chemicals used on those plants it should be fine.

im not a pot expert by any means but i would'nt have thought harmful chemicals could leech out into the water.

however if your concerned why not change it for a pot with no glazing or a nice bit of driftwood

and i mean 'im no pot expert' in every sense of the word! lol

the main reason i would say go with the unglazed red pots since well every thing in them are fine the best part is that they are real cheap and have many many diff uses for them

thats true, i have afew red pots on some of my smaller tanks, can make nice features with them espeically if u have some whole and some cracked in half etc, makes lots of hidey holes for smaller fish. main point tho as rumncoke says is there cheap as chips!
