Silk Flowers

GeminiPrincess · 11-25-2010, 11:36 PM

Could i use silk flowers from a hobby store for decoration? I know that no metal should be showing, but would the dye be ok?

I personally would not use the stuff. You never know what the stuff is made of these days.

well shoot, do you have any ideas for a brightly colored beta tank? I have yet to find anything that is really bright and colorful. Thanks!

Check out some real good fish stores and see if they have any good looking silk plants. I have seen them at Pet supplies stores before. I hope this helps you out some.

There will be live plants, i just wanted some bright/neon colors to mix in. I got the black gavel with bits of neon gravel through out it. I found some silk aquarium plants i might get. Could I use a piece of broken up tile, marble or granite to make caves? Or maybe crushed granite. Is there any paint that would be safe a d not leech out into the water? It's going to be 3 male bettas divied in a 10g.

If i were to make something out of clay then bake it so it hardened would that work? No paint though
