My blackbelt needs a cave in his new tank and im looking for a simple ceramic vase . As usual the place ive seen one perfect for my situation has been closed down ;\. By vase i mean the diameter of the vase starts of small then large in the middle and then goes back to small.

Anyone know of any places which would sell these simple ceramic vase which are fish friendly? I've tried a few pottery places but with no success.

Thanks Peter

Try the $2 shops Peter. Amazing what sort of fishy stuff you can find in some of them

sounds like those pots you bought had a toxic glacing, best to buy unglazed pots if you go down that road

i used glasing pots from bunning alot of times ands the fish seems to be ok ..you said that the tank is oni a week old ..make sure the tank is properly run in b4 adding too many fish in it ..check for ammonia and nitrite.

hey there where 2 lelupi in a 2x18x12 so there wernt 2 many fish n i did get the water tested there was no amonia r nitrat

[goldcolour]

i was told that alot of pots from Vietnam b4 they are sent here are fumigated therefore you have to give it a good wash b4 adding it into the aquarium...as to if theres toxin in the glazing pots itself i doubt it and the guy i spoke too said it should be safe
