are all clay pots safe for the fishes?

Are they?

I have been using the plain Jane cheapo clay pots in my tanks for YEARS without any problems. That's all I can tell ya! :)

Like terracotta? Theyre fine, just need to be never used and cleaned with only hot hot water.
If so, and for any kind, really- Make SURE if they have small holes on the bottom (or anywhere) theyre a quater-sized or LARGER, or else they need to be sealed or filled up.

the ones I have are pretty small... Got them 3/1$ at the dollar store. The hole is like marker tip size.. I think it would be to small for anything to get stuck.. Agreed or not?

agreed^

I measured.. The bottom of the pot is 3.7 cm in diameter. The hole is 5 mm in diameter.

Well Cornelius was in it, caught him in the pic. Arthur is ignoring his and hiding in his favorite plant lol

Idk, Id still fill it. Honestly, they try to get in the smallest and most obscure places. You could shove a clipping of a fake plant in there and then never have to worry.
