Choosing the right plastic plants for your tank
Think about scale first. Tall background plants hide equipment and fill the rear of the tank, medium plants build the midground and short, bushy pieces soften the front edge. Measure your tank height so background plants reach toward the surface without folding over. For fish with long, flowing fins such as bettas and fancy guppies, choose soft, flexible plastic or silk-style plants that will not snag or tear delicate fins.
Plastic plants work in freshwater and saltwater aquariums and are ideal for tanks where live plants struggle, such as goldfish, African cichlid and large predator setups. Rinse new plants in warm water before adding them, anchor bases under the substrate, and clean them occasionally with a soft brush to remove algae. Because they are inert, plastic plants will not change your water chemistry.
