Rough edges on decorations

After the untimely death of our little Firemouth Rhett, poor little chap got stuck in a castle turret, hubby decided something with bigger swimming holes was in order.  The galleon he decided on arrived this morning, there are a couple of small holes but these are in places where there is plenty of room to turn or back up, and aren't really big enough for the fish to get their heads into.

Hubby had a good look around the inside and outside and the galleon is lovely, the fish should love it, his only worry is that there are a few places on it that are a little rough edged.  He's run his fingers over them, they aren't sharp enough to cut him, but he's a bit worried that the fishes bodies might be a little softer and easier to damage.  He's wondering whether it might be an idea to run a file over them, or are slightly rough edges nothing to worry about?

I'd smooth them off, just to be on the safe side. Just think how guilty you'd feel if a fish did cut themselves.

....and c'mon - let's have some piccies!!! ;D

Thanks ColinB and Resa,

Hubby is off to file the edges, no way do I want any injuries.

We have taken piccies, I'll get hubby to put them on my pc for upload, though I think he'll want some pics of the galleon in the water before he puts them on.   :)

Haha, I never thought of naming the galleon, not a bad idea though.

And just to update the poo watch, as I like to make sure the fish poo is healthy, the two new fish are both pooing normally.  When they came from the shop it was a bit light for my liking, but it's fine now.   ;D

OMG, I didn't realise there was a colour chart!  Where did you get it from?

Resa, have you watched telly lately lol, there's more poo on there than in a fish tank.   :)

SteveS, do you think a colour chart would be a marketable idea.   ;)
