[dave1987]

You can use them, but it won't stop them looking cheap and plastic.

so they should be ok i was just wondering if they would leak chemicals into the water or rot even

Well plant pots are intended to be filled with damp soil and sustane plant life. So if it does rot or give off harmful chemicals then you want to take your anthrax paper pot back and get a good old terracotta one

If so, they would be no good to put plants in. Incase they leak stuff into the roots

Use your imagination it should be to your taste, not ours im sure you'll do a good job of it!

If you cut them, be sure to sand the sharp edges with glass/sand paper or similar. Don't want to harm any fishies.

glad you mentioned that thanks

Hiya Dave...If you cut them to get a desired shape, a cave, for instance. Be sure to use some abrasive paper to remove sharp edges.Also, try and post a few images so we can all enjoy your creationWeird, when I tried posting earlier it didn't post! Now I see it did..... I'm having a bad day and my head hurts.
