Fake plants
By Chel on Feb 3, 2021
What I do love about these is that they are safe for my reptiles, the ink/dye doesn't bleed at all. Buut they seem to be a bit fragile, but also quite stiff so it's hard to decorate around the tank with the one plant (unless you have an aquarium). It definitely gives my tank that extra personality in needed and extra hiding space for my snakes so they're much more comfortable out of their hides.

not good for male bettas
By Pebblesthebetta on Jan 12, 2021
I thought this plant would be nice for my 5 gallon betta fish tank but it ended up splitting my half moon bettas fin. It says it’s soft plastic But even if it is, this product in particular is NOT good for male betta fish. Maybe other fish but not bettas.

Funky smell but looked nice
By DeeMR on Nov 23, 2020
This looked nice in the tank but I removed it after a week while I was cycling my tank due to the smell it seemed to give off. I washed it when I first got it and washed it again and again and soaked it but the smell wouldn’t seem to go away. It’s probably safe for the tank if you can tolerate the smell. Thanks to chewy for a refund!

Great for Bettas
By Melanie on Nov 19, 2020
I have this in my 10 gallon tank for my betta fish which I purchased this plant for. The plastic it is made from is super soft and isn’t a risk of cutting those beautiful fins. Filled up the tank beautifully and looks very natural.

Tallest of the tall
By Cheezer on Oct 24, 2020
I have a 32" tall aquarium so that makes this plant perfect.not to many companies make aquarium plants over 24" so I buy them all the time and use the older ones for hide outs for my quarantine tank .They use to have different styles this 36" plant but I can only find the bamboo one here..... .

Large package
By NotTwo on Nov 26, 2020
I was very disappointed I thought it was a multi plant package. It is only one plant if I had known that I would’ve bought two of them

Good to make my new snake feel secure
By PandasMum on Jul 10, 2020
I got a juvenile Western Hognose and I needed to add some cover to make him feel more secure while out in his 20 long tank. While this did make him feel secure enough to come out and explore, all of the pointed ends of the leaves obviously bothered him when he bumped his nose on them repeatedly so instead of going under or through them, he chose to cruise on top of them or burrow under them entirely (defeating the purpose of adding this) so I've retired these in favor of some silk ones. Adding these made him feel secure enough to start eating and exploring but if your reptile has sensitive (and shovel) nose, they might be bothered by the leaves. When I sprayed once a week down his tank (it's I got a juvenile Western Hognose and I needed to add some cover to make him feel more secure while out in his 20 long tank.
