realistic fake plants
By MrHibiscus on Apr 24, 2021
I got some of this a month ago and if you soak it in hot water first it softens it up and makes it super realistic. I have it In my 20 gal long community tank with my betta and tetras and they all love it. It’s big enough to cover the entire backside of the tank, even though I have it farther to the right. They all find a way to use it and they all love it. My tetras sit in the top part and my betta sleeps In the parts that hang down. It doesn’t stain water or shred fins, and I’m pretty picky about buying fake plants in fear that they’ll shred my bettas fins, as I’ve had issues with that in the past. If you’re looking for a fake plant that looks real then this is it.

Beautiful Touch
By Rachael on May 14, 2021
I ordered two of these and was very impressed with the quality of them. I have a 75 gallon aquarium and these, after trimming the length, they looked wonderful! The fish enjoy hiding in them as well

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 24, 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!

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..... .
