A Pot I Bought

[aspguru]

I bought one of those cheap clay pots to put in my tank. What do I need to do to it before I put it in there? Anything?

try hot water and a clean veggie brush.boil it if you like,it makes me feel better when i boil stuff like that before hand.

I just rinsed mine.  I have most of my plants in clay pots.  Had no problems when I put them in.  I used a layer of floss, laterite and some lava rocks to anchor the plants.  I actually removed the last of my silk/plastic plants the other day.

Is it terracotta or clay??? I havn't had good luck with the clay pots myself but the terracotta worked good. Good luck. I would say just do as instructed above wash good and then boil if it makes you feel any better. Good luck. ;D 8)

Remember to take the price tag barcode thing off the bottom.

I saw mine floating around the tank about a half hour after I put the pot in. heheh. oops.   One fish says to another "price check in tank #2"  hehe

other than that I just gave my pots a good rinse with warm water.   actually I didn't use mine for plants.  I smashed out the bottom , so the fish could swim through them.  makes good for breeding/qtank hiding places.

That is what I did. I buried half way in the ground for them to play in.
