KittenFishMom Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I would love to force some forsythia branches in my fish tank now, and enjoy the yellow flowers during the snow storms of February. Will cut forsythia branches harm fish or anything else in an aquarium? I would bet the warm tropical tank water would get them opening very fast.

ScottieB Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Assuming your not submerging them and they grown without pesticides or chemicals I don't see why you couldn't dangle the cut branches in the tank like a vase? If you see signs of fungal growth on the stems I would removed them immediately. Not sure anyone can guarantee they wont be harmful, but depending on the tank, the inhabitants, the source of the branches, etc, you should be ok for a short time. With that said, I would just use a traditional vase (and maybe some tank water) and generally try to avoid foreign contaminants in the tank.

KittenFishMom Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 @ScottieBI was thinking that as they put out leaves, they would take up a lot of nitrogen from the water. But if it isn't a sure thing that they would be safe for the tank, I will just use a vase instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
