    What do you guys do with old skulls or antlers? I found this dead head last summer and it was just sitting in the shed till my sister got a fish tank and my dad put the skull in the water it looks really cool. Check it out.

    If you want doe skulls, I have plenty out in the pasture! The critters do a pretty good job of keeping them in a pretty centralized area :lol:

    The skull will quickly break down in the water and likely make the water cloudy and add calcium to the water. Some types of fish will not do well with that. For others that can stand hard water, it will be no big deal.

    I wondered about that too. I even had to change the type of driftwood in my tank because it changed the chemical properties of my water. The angel fish weren't doing so well with the old wood.
