"I have had this in my aquarium about a month and I went to do a water change and wanted to clean it and the moment I touched it white chips of paint came off, I can’t imagine that the paint would be ok for my fish to eat, and they did try."

Bottom Line

This is a fantastic choice for festive decorations, but it may not be suitable for long-term use in an active aquarium due to potential deterioration issues and chipping during cleaning and maintenance.
