Hi folks,
I saw this at my LFS and thought it was pretty cool if one were going to have a frog or lizard or something, but it got me thinking about using foam in an aquarium for caves and such.
My question is: What kind of foam is animal safe? Would foam like this be safe in an aquarium completely submerged?

What I am looking for is more just the raw foam. Something like seat cushion foam that you would get at a fabric store, but animal safe....

Be careful with using foam materials from a crafts store. If the foam is mean to be use of seat cushion and such, there is a high chance that it's fire retardent. Don't submerge any materials that has been treated with fire retardent chemicals in your tank.
