How bad is it having clay balls in FT?

I've got most out, but there are still a few in there.

Before you ask, I have 3yr old twin boys..... this arvo's 'rampage' consisted of an attack on the AP set up, I am still looking for parts of my golf cart, I have managed to find all the golf clubs, but I can kiss several of my new balls goodbye. Oh, and the portable aerator has.... lets just say gone to a better place. I only left the shed open for 30min.

How much do you think I can get for the twins on ebay?????

End rant, are clay balls in the Fish Tank bad? ........

I think I need a beer!!!!

Nah, it's no problem, unless your pump has inlet holes that could get blocked by them when they sink.

It does make cutting Trout open a bit more difficult though, clay is a bit tough.

Ok, thanks,

I was worried about the fish eating them and choking or something. You've had your trout eat them have you?

These twins will be the death of me.......

I think the golf clubs would make a short work of their behinds...

Good luck with the twins... a few clay balls should be alright... if you are having seasonable fish (ie. trout, barra), then just do a bit of maintenance (ie get the remaining clay balls out) then...

Never had a fish choke on a clay ball, but the sure do eat them.
