Toy Car

[Sheridanp]

I was wondering if a toy car would be safe in a fish tank. This idea came to be in a dream. I won't get into that. I have a nice idea for it.

Depends what its made of an what state its in.

If its one for a little kid (i.e its non-toxic) and none of the paint is chipped off then in theory I don't see why not.

Its another discussion as to why you would want to though!!

Might be metal somewhere on it that could rust.. would depend on the type of toy it is.. if there's any metal I don't know if I wuld do it.

Always a chance that an older toy could have lead paint. Certainly not what I would do.

no matter what car is is... could you not just dip it in car laccquer... 2pac being the best... as it is waterproof... and completely unreactive with water that i know of... thus sealing the toy car?

Be careful, the wheels will rust, I always used to play with toys cars in my sand pit with a seaside sort of part and some cars rusted whilst others just the wheels...

get the 99 cent plastic Shyt models, theyre usually sealed and tou should rip off the metal that keeps the tires on or get a stainless steel toy car(if they even make it, its a cool idea but all it will do it become a cool toilet peice for the fish to poop all over and bacteria to grow on, but then again fry can hide inside the car and stuff, u know like pretending to drive it

u know like pretending to drive it

We know what you do with your spare time. Teaching your fish to drive toy cars?
