action figures in your tank?

[oscar1]

i use to but those plastic model whales they sell at seaworld in my tank when i was a kid, i loved it.

[Gr8KarmaSF]

i would love to put an action figure of, WHO ELSE?!?! AQUAMAN!!!
(and maybe the black manta, for those of you who know who he is)

thou u should probably rethink the possible peeling plastic in the tank. some of the old action figures also still use metal parts, which equals rust in your tank!

[oscar1]

thanks for the replies
remember metal jointed toys bad equal rust, but plastis non jointed toys possibly good if they don't peal or crack.
again thanks

when sponge bob comes on tv my kid sits and watches him quietly.. so yes he is a hero in my book.

Howdy,

why in the world would you do that?! :screwy:
Look up the word "kitsch" in your encyclopedia, you'll find a picture of a tank with an action figure. Or wait, I just looked it up: Is that your tank in my encyclopedia!?

I want some little pink plastic flamingoes for my sisters tank, they would crack her up!

[XvIrishDevilvX]

I got a KILLER idea....a horror themed tank......red accent lights...blacklight tubes..black background with flouresent paint dots...like stars or something..bubbles out the yin yang. some of those ceraminc haunted houses from wal mart or something. heres the kicker. dark colored piranhas and pikes. With todd macfarlane movie figures.....leatherface,freddy,jason etc etc...that would be KILLER. Damn now I want one..think I might look into that...

i had a scuba steve guy in my tank for a while. I tied him down to another piece of decoration with some clear fishing line. Unless u were right up next to the tank it looked like he was just floating there. Had him in there until I did a water change once and took him out. Then accidently stepped on him, hurt like hell, and broke him in half. DAM U SCUBA STEVE!

why not make a Barney tank that sing I love you :eek: .......all of the fish would commit suicide :cry:

[guppy]

How about seasonally themed figures you could change for each holiday?

[ROSS]

coat them with clear acrylic..
:jaw: don't think this is safe but could be wrong :thumbsup:

My old roommate was drinking one night and decided to use an old Porn Mag centerfold as his Background on his mini reef tank. it was pretty funny, then I came home one night and I have no clue where he found this, but in the center of his tank he had a Porn star Action figure sitting on a ceramic sea horse that he use to have in his fresh water tank. I really think the guy need a girlfriend BAD!!!

[butane216]

dont most action figures have METAL joints? last time I checked, doesnt metal corrode when moist? isnt FeO2 bad for the "respiratory" function of fishies?

just something to think about!

[Mourinho18]

are there any types of figures you can add that are safe. lego's maybe.

[butane216]

I'm sure if you used some sort of aquarium safe sealant/silicone on the joints, they would be ok, I'm just not keen on trying to give my fish tetanus!

[Mourinho18]

the thing is I want to make a theme for my next tank. I was thinking something along the lines of, army men with a little battlefield or something.

[gibbles]

i have those green army men in one of my tanks
