Hi Guys,
Just wondered might be dumb but.. I had put smaller river rocks in Sunnys
bath so he could step on them first before going right in? I noticed once he
did try and step on them first but they moved so I guess he didnt like that
and gave up? lol I was wondering would it be ok to glue gun them onto the
bottom so they wont move when he steps on them but. wondered if that would
be save for him? What if he did drink the water would there be anything you
think in the water from the glue gun stuff or would it hurt his shell? Thanks
Any in-put would help?

I would use aquarium safe epoxy that would for sure be safe.

you can buy non-toxic hot glue gun glue.

I believe most hot glue is non-toxic, but the silicone fish tank stuff is probably even more safe. Just be sure to read the directions about curing. Also you may want to rinse it a few times before putting it in the tank just for peace of mind.

Hi Guys,
Thank so much I did call the fish place and I will get the silicone
there. 24 hours to use safe then? Then I will wash and wash just to be
safe for Sunny. Thanks
