So, after doing a lot of research, I decided against plastic and live plants. What did that leave? Silk! My little betta didn't need anything tearing her sensitive fins, so naturally I wanted a soft, clean-edged plant. While I'm not sure that this is actually silk (it's like a softer plastic), these plants are amazing. The black paint at the base of the plant does chip off while I'm cleaning it, but that's the only issue. My crowntail just adores curling up in a ball on the leaves of this round plant. She prefers it over the useless leaf hammock, too!

So, I've been buying live plants since I put up my small tank at work. (About 2 years) I have spent lots of cash replacing them every other month or so. I have determined that no matter how well I know how to grow plants, and I am an excellent gardener, water plants are not my thing. Because of my love for real plants I hate fake looking aquarium decor. This plant looks pretty real in the tank. It's going to save me $$$ too.

its plastic....wouldn't even stay under the gravel...and the leaves kept falling off in the water..I'm not picky with decor but this one was horrible...waste of money.

Height is good for small aquarium (2 gal). Color close to real plant. Bottom feeders may move this plant around. It is weighted but does get uprooted.

Nice quality, looks real. Just a little smaller than what I was looking for, but it was easy to make it work. I used this in one if my betta tanks

These are some of the best plants I've found for my tanks as far as fake ones go. Soft and realistic! And for the price I'll buy more and more.

I got this because my corydoras kept up-rooting my live plants. These have a great look to them in the tank

The leaves are very soft and flow naturally in the water. Great for bettas. The plant itself was completely intacted unlike several of the reviews I read. Over the past few weeks I have taken the plant out mulitple times during water changes without any of the leaves falling off or the base detaching from the stems.

I like this product but unfortunately it fell apart after I got it. When I opened the box some of the pieces had already fallen off. The product is not too expensive so it's not that big of a deal, I may of just got a bad one.
