What are aquarium ornaments made from, making them safe for aquariums & freshwater fish?
I'd like to go to my local craft store & perhaps find one of those little buildings that you paint yourself. But I don't know what aquarium ornaments are made from. Also, if I were to find the right item made from the right material, what kind of craft paint would be safe to paint them with? The ones we buy have to be painted with something. Any information is appreciated. Thanks

Do you have any tips on cleaning aquarium ornaments and plants?
Did you buy special tools or did you just use a toothbrush? My algae looks kind of dark brown. Is this harmful to the fish? That's in my tropical tank. In my cold water goldfish tank the algae is dark green. Can you use the same cleaning equipment for both tanks or should I keep them separate?
What materials can I use to make my own aquarium ornaments?
I just want something simple my dwarf frogs can hang out under and I don't want to pay for the expensive, yet cheaply made ones at the petstore. Would pvc pipe and a glue gun work? Or would it be toxic? Thanks
Aquarium ornaments / Rocks in particular for fresh water tank?
My husband is an avid rock collector and he has this stalagmite or stalactite can t remember which , it does have a lot of growth rings any way it is very large with a huge hole through the middle, it looks perfect for my aquarium I put it in there last night and then remembered that I didn t know what body of water it came from cave, salt water or fresh water I don t know So, I took it out until I could talk to you guys.All I know is , it s big and makes a perfect cave for my little fish, when I originally put it in there it let off a stream of bubbles it was washed before hand , but I was worried that it might put minerals that are not suppose to be in a fresh water tank. I love my fish very much, and I don t want to put anything in there that can potentially hurt them. What do you think..is it safe or not?
Aquarium ornament - where do the bubbles come from?
I know this sounds stupid but, where do the bubbles come from in an aquarium ornament? My son received a Sponge Bob ornament that blows bubbles for his 7th birthday, do I run a pipe from the filter to the little nozzle on the back of the ornament?
