Can i put horns in an aquarium

[elvispacman]

i had this old set of horns that i broke,from the base so now its kinda like a horn whistle, anyways would it be safe to put in the aquarium as a decoration

[troy tucker]

I don't think that would be good idea. IMO. THe horn would rot and fowl the water.
But maybe some one knows something I don't....

Like a pair of horns from longhorn? I agree with Troy, they may end up decomposing & fouling the water.

However, google & youtube can be very helpful in this situatiion... have you tried a search of either?

i threw an elk antler in one of my old setups and never had a problem if your worried about it find out what you can safely clear coat it with

i know antlers are safe, turns out their made of keratin which im pretty sure is safe for fish

im not coating it with anything

i thought antlers were different, though. antlers are bone, whereas most horns are keratin, same as our hair and fingernails.

I say DO IT! It may work out great...

[allysangels]

do it but take before and after pics to document whatever changes do happen...

[elvispacman]

i honestly dont think anythings happening,plus keratin doesnt dissolve in water

[allysangels]

i know, it's just fun to take pictures...
