Really _REALLY_ bad idea. I'm not sure what plasticine is, but I know it's
not clay, and I know it''s very oily as well as having a water soluble
component. I'm _sure_ it's not a good thing to put in a tank. When people
talk about "art clay" they're talking about clay used by potters... Real
clay that is thrown or otherwise molded, then fired in a kiln. I wouldn't
use that either, but there's a better chance of not poisoning your tank
with that than with plasticine.
