I am planning on building my own rock caves for my fish, the aquarium silicone costs like 20 dollars here so i wanted to know if superglue would work? Thanks for the help in advance
Is super glue safe for fish?

superglue will not hold rocks together very well regardless. go to a home improvement store or hardware store and get GE Silicone I, it is labeled as Window & Door.

Where is here?
Super Glue will weaken under water, & is not for potable water.

GE I silicone door & window (no bioseal) / GE II silicone door & window (no bioseal) / GE 1200 / RTV 108 / IS808

I have used superglue on the odd occasion for emergency sutures on medium - large sized fish and to help gaping wounds heal over. So to answer your question, no it is not toxic to fish, but for what your doing, I would not recommend superglue. As per previous sposters, use silicon glue. It is cheaper in in hardware stores and cheaper in caulking gun sizes.
I'm sure silicone would work fine. Another option is goop It has worked very well for me on just about anything and goop are meant to bond things together not just sealing stuff so they're really tough when dry.
Ya, thats what I decided to use after the i saw it in my garage, the cave is turning out nicely. Thanks for the help.ThePBM;1071398; said:
