PETEYPLECO Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Make sure if you use silicone it is the fish freindly type, maybe even a hot glue gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 bluetac doesn't really stick underwater- they say it does but... hot glue gun glue is not very good if you are glueing something to the glass- as it doesn't readily stick to the glass- it does work for sticking other things together- rocks, pipes etc- although I don't find it as strong as silicone. I use sealys glass and have had no problems with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguinleo Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I have personally used blu-tak to hold down some veggies so my plecos could eat them. They were perfectly fine. The fish do not get poisoned or anything. Some of them tried to graze on it but it was harmless. It is true that it doesn't stick in water well. It just keeps coming off. Blu-Tak is fine for fish. It even says untoxic. But I would avoid the $2 shop ones. Trust the original ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
