i think they would rot if they were submerged in a tank....post some pics of them with something for size reference
Pine Cones rot when wet.
I went on a hike one summer, found some huge pincones and my mom put them in her garden it looked cool then it rained during winter and the pine cones rotted

I seem to remember from Botany class (many years ago), that coniferous trees secrete a resinous substance which acts as an herbicide, preventing seedlings from taking root around it. I don't know for sure about the cones, but I would guess that they also contain this substance.
You might possibly be able to get the cones sealed somehow to where it would be safe for the aquarium, but I dont think you'd go through the trouble for that haha.
Yeah, i guess yall are right, i'll just get a nice hunk of driftwood.
it woulda looked really cool though

you could probably get it all sealed nice with some aquarium acrylic and a little bit of patience
