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!
They are usually plastic resin or ceramic (pottery)
It just has to be something inert and basically food safe.
Painting is more difficult, the paint has to be totally waterproof and tough enough to handle cleaning after soaking in water for weeks.
