Making clay caves for aquarium fish...
Hello,
I'm an aquarist, and many fish like to live or breed in shelters, referred to as 'caves'. Normally shattered plant-pots or terracotta tubes are used, like this... http://www.planetcatfish.com/images/...sc/sw/hz/7.jpg ....but it would be very useful to be able to make 'custom' caves for the fish. When I've looked in to this in the past, the need to use a kiln has put me off, but now I see there's air-drying clays, as well as low-fire clays and polymer clays you can fire in your household oven. My questions a are air-drying/low-firing clays or polymer clays non-toxic after firing, and would they survive (ie not fall to pieces) if kept constantly in water for several years? |
