I've heard about people using clay pots normally used for plants, as decorations/caves in their fish tanks. I'm considering doing this in one or two of my tanks, and I want to make sure I do it right. I think some of my fish might appreciate a place to hide, and getting a little pot is sure a heeeeeeck of a lot cheaper than buying a cave from the lfs. (Wow decorations are expensive!)
How do I prepare it to be safe in my tank? I'd imagine something along the lines of soaking in tank water?
I've heard of some people drilling holes in them, is this necessary? And why do they do it - I couldn't quite figure that out?
I plan on partially (1/3 or so) burying it in the gravel so that it stays put. Is there any safety issues I need to be worried about? Or anything I'm avoiding? I get nervous adding anything to my tank that isn't from the pet store. Thanks!!
