I wouldn't imagine the plastic would sink too well, but terra cotta pots are pretty handy for such purposes... I would just advise that you sand down or plug the drainage hole if necessary-- I have has a curious betta get his head stuck in one, resulting in a nasty scrape.

Yeah you know what they're not technically made for aquariums so they may indeed have some weird chemicals in them. Terra cotta is tried-and-true though. And they are usually less than a buck a pop.
