Default Full size Skeleton??

Yes you heard me!

Two years ago I got a 150g fishtank, its rather large anyways.... I want a full size skeleton that I can basically lay down in there and maybe prop his head up on a rock and decorate it from there. Anyways... I have asked every pet store in 100 miles and they just look at me puzzled.... Can anyone direct me to where i might locate such a decoration item that its a full size skeleton that can be submerged in a fish tank, I'm sure someone somewhere has made one or knows where I can get one... Any tips will be much appreciated.

Sorry but you won't find one that way.
The only place I can think to get one is a replica for anatomy class.
you might try

Human Skeleton Model Stan - Skeleton Models and Skeleton Charts

and maybe if you call them and ask for just the plastic pieces and none of the metal hardware they might give you a break.

Yeah, you wouldn't find one in a pet store, look for anatomy skeletons. Make sure you get rid of the metal bits before it goes in the tank though, and ask about what they use to make them, and make sure that it's tank safe

Pretty cool idea. Ive been wanting to do a 750 Gallon tank with a sunken titanic theme for a while now.

I like the whole skeleton idea.

You could always kill someone and then do what you have to do to get the skeleton. KIDDING

You have the right idea, but why would you go and kill someone when there are millions of skeletons just waiting to be dug up. Just Google "local cemetery" and go find a grave that looks 100+ years old and unkept, that way the chances are less that a living relative will cause a fuss about missing remains.

Hey, even better, go to area 51 and get an ALIEN Skeleton!!

Then, fake an FBI ID badge with the name and pic of agent Moulder, and put it in the fingers of the skeleton.

Might be a new trend for a alternative to burial, cremation ,
just have your bones cleaned by beetles and bleached and made into a ornament for your loved ones tank.

what a way to keep your self into your hobby.

Come on! Caugh it up suit! Give the man an alien skeleton for his fish tank!

And while you are at it, why don't yo....... WOOOP! Gotta go! I hear a black helicopter outside.........
