They're usually fine if they're aquarium-grade. Just avoid the DIY foam ones—some sealants aren't fish-safe. My tank has a pre-made resin panel, no problems in two years.

I'd stress-test any decor before adding it. Leave it in a bucket of water for a week, test params. Better safe than sorry with these sensitive fish.

Thanks for the tips, everyone! Gonna stick to sand, driftwood, and maybe a few plants. Appreciate the help.
