Glass bottles in your tank..?

[Fishfaced]

I've stuck a Kraken Rum bottle in my tank, simply for a bit of decor.
Good idea or not?

I think it looks good . I don’t reckon it would be a bad thing for the tank unless food drops down the bottle and rots lol

Thanks.
Yea I'll keep an eye on that when cleaning.
Do you think if a shrimp went in they'd get back out?

Good question, iv never owned shrimp but I’m sure they would be fine , someone else may know different tho

I was experimenting a few years back with glass globes inside the tank. Looked "Great" until one of my SAE swam inside and panicked and trapped. Being nearly invisible in water it kept swimming into the sides, could not find its way out. I did help it out and decided not a good idea.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the warning.
I could maybe plug the bottle with a tiny cork, do you know if cork is harmful?

Good Idea, but no clue if it is safe.

Good Luck1

Ooh, this looks really pretty. I'd personally break it so there's no closed off parts and sand it down properly. Looks great, though!

I don't have a glass cutter but like the idea.

Ah I could fill the bottle with sand to match the level of the tank.
Thanks, your idea made me think.

It’s perfectly safe.

Plastic isn’t, because it’s porous. (Meaning it has little holes along the surface area, giving homes to bacteria)

I used to have glass bottles in a shrimp tank, they had no problems getting out. I grew algae on the bottles and rotated them so the shrimp could eat it.

I like that idea.
If anything ever does get stuck I'll release it and get some sort of stopper. Cork most likely.

I have upside down long stemmed wine glass in my beta tank. He rests on the top of it.

Ha.. that's something a bit different.
Any chance of seeing a pic?
