Artificial Plastic Aquarium Plants
Plants are found in many freshwater environments and can give a more our aquarium natural feel. We offer a wide array of choices when it comes to plastic aquarium plants. The vast majority of home aquariums use plastic plants in place of live ones, simply because they are easier to maintain. Because they are never in an aquarium before you purchase them, they will not bring in pests or parasites from other places. They will not decay and foul the tank. Granted, they will also not contribute to the habitat in the way live plants do, but they are an excellent option - especially for the beginner. Artificial plants are also an ideal choice for fish that are prone to uproot or eat live plants.
Artificial plants have become so sophisticated that they rival real plants in appearance. Unlike live plants, they will not die, grow too large, or become tattered and unattractive. If they become dirty or covered with algae, they can be removed and cleaned. They can even be disinfected with bleach, to assure that no harmful bacteria or pests remain. Artificial plants have no light requirements, as opposed to living plants which often require lighting beyond what the average fish keeper has for their aquarium.
