Marina Ecoscaper Hydrocotyle Silk Plant Aquarium Décor, 8-in

Cons: Flimsy material that ages quickly, like a cheap tablecloth. Underside of leaves is lighter color and not printed, looks bad when too many leaves face the "wrong way". Rounded top of lightweight base means it comes out from under the gravel easily. Pros: Appropriately low price, definitely a "get what you pay for" situation. Material is soft enough for bettas. Plant is much more natural-looking than almost any other fake plant I've bought *if* you put extra effort into staging it. Put some effort into making as many leaves face up and towards the front as possible. Glue back on any leaves that come off, because any thinning contributes to its cheap/aged look.

I like to stuff the bases of these into small cracked pots and vases, certain building/roman ruins figurines, hollow logs with openings in the sidewall, etc.. and then pull the stems through and up, and fluff the leaves back out. Can remove the base and use superglue or aquarium silicone instead, too, for same result. They look great that way, even if they have aged some. … more

Bought this for my 5 gallon tank, now a 10 gallon, since my previous broke from shipping ( Thanks Chewy ) and it is darker than pictured and cheaply glued on. A "silk" leaf came off and im not going to bother putting it back, theres enough there. The "silk" is rough on some edges and i recommend checking in on your fish during the first days of putting it in the tank, especially if you have a betta, (mines name is Opal). Moral of the story: I do recommend but only expect what you pay for, and be careful with the "silk".

I like the look of this plant, very cute. Not bushy enough for my fish to hide in, but they still swim through it, and the betta will occasionally tuck himself along the base to rest his fins. I rinse my plants with clean water when I do water changes, and this plant came out of the base while I was rinsing it off. But I just push it back in and cover the base with gravel. The plant doesn't float away or fall down so it's not a big deal.

I ordered this for one of my tanks and its nice and all. But upon washing it each month the leaf always fall off. From day one opening it and rinsin it off the leaf don’t stick on right. I have cut it down to where its more steady and its fine but i wont buy again. You get what you paid for on this item.

It's great for the price and works fantastic in a betta tank to keep my betta feeling comfortable, providing a place for him to chill, swim through and hide. No fading as far as I can tell, but i've only had it inside the tank for about two weeks. It's fairly realistic as far as looks go- and doesn't crowd the tank. Only issue i've had is getting it to stay still under the rocks, as it seems to be bouyant enough to want to float or shift. After covering the base with a considerable amount of rocks though, it does okay. I did notice that the leaves are fragile and can easily pop off if it's not handled very carefully. Otherwise, it's a fantastic buy for the price.

I really like this plant, I bought 2 of them for my tank (29 gallon) and they look geat, just wish they had some movement but other than that I am extremely satisfied and would purchase again.

I wanted a new "natural" looking plant for my Betta tank and this was it! Very inexpensive and it looks natural! Thanks for the great plant!

It fit perfectly in my little 2.6 gallon aquarium, and because it is silk, I don't have to worry about it harming my Betta's fins.

I actually bought this for a turtle terrarium. These plants do not stand upright on their own so they did not work for what I needed them for but I'm sure they would work great for an aquarium that was fully filled with water. Also my turtles tried to eat them so I ended up removing them anyway.

I bought a couple of these and they are great! Very realistic and stand up straight!
