You can't put just anything into a fishtank. Some items outgas (give off gas) and/or leach (leak) chemicals that are toxic to fish. Some of the most common "bad for the fish" decorations: Metals that rust Concrete Silicone with antibacterial/antimold properties Colored glass of unknown origin (arsenic was a common coloring agent at one time) Copper items Anything with pointed or sharp edges (rocks, glass, wood, whatever) Painted or stained items: paint will eventually flake and stain will leach unless the item has been properly sealed. Even a proper sealing only delays the inevitable flaking/leaching. Dirty rocks (you know the stones with dark spots of oil and gas that you find at the edge of parking lots? Don't use 'em).
