I bought this Egyptian vase decoration for Fresh and saltwater fish. From an EBAY store online. It came in the mail today and is the same exact thing as the LFS sells but I bought it much cheaper from EBAY. Anyways.... I'm not sure if it's the plastic or what it is but it stinks HORRIBLY bad. I have soaked it all day in extremely hot water , I sprayed it with vinegar nothing helps get rid of this smell. It's not a plastic or paint smell but it's like something chemical I dont' know what the smell is but it's not getting much better.
The tag says made in China. GGGRRR which I never would have wasted my money if I had known that.
What should I do now? It says it's aquarium safe but I am having my doubts. Should I just toss it? Will the smell affect the fish? It's been soaking all day in hot water so anything on it would have been washed away by now. I dumped the water and refilled lots of times hoping it would soak off or wash away.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks so much.
