Does anybody know the figurines you can buy from Wally world?I want to make those waterproof to add some decor to my aquarium.

if you’re talking about making ceramics and them putting them in, you have to galze them but i don’t know if the glaze is aquarium safe or not. i know it’s safe to drink from and i would guess it’s good enough to put in a fish tank…

    Just put them in some boiling water for about 2-3 minutes. Then set them out and let them cool down before adding them to your aquarium.

    Most ceramics even labled aquarium safe are not suitable for the aquarium. They will leach toxins into the water and kill your fish. Opt for hard smooth round river rocks or glass. Glass ornaments are beautiful and are inert. Watch for glued spots though. You wouldn’t want glue leeching either. Your idea for decorating the tank will reek havok on the system and I wouldn’t if I were you.
