FAQs
Is this plant safe for all fish?
Yes, the Aqua One Vibrance range is made from fish-safe, non-toxic plastic suitable for all common aquarium species.
Does this plant need special lighting?
No, because it is an imitation plant, it does not require any specific light spectrum or duration to maintain its appearance.
Can I use this in a saltwater tank?
While designed primarily for freshwater, the materials are generally safe for saltwater; however, check for salt crystallization buildup periodically.
How do I clean the plant without damaging it?
Gently rinse under clean, lukewarm water and use a soft cloth or brush to remove debris. Avoid soaps or detergents.
Will this plant provide hiding spots for fry?
Yes, the thick and bushy design of the Vibrance Wisteria provides excellent cover for smaller fish and fry to hide.
Can I trim the plant if it is too tall?
It is not recommended to trim the plastic foliage as it may create sharp edges that could potentially harm delicate fish fins.
Troubleshooting
Plant keeps tipping over.
Ensure the weighted base is buried deep enough under at least 2-3cm of gravel or sand to provide a solid anchor.
Algae is growing on the leaves.
Remove the plant and rinse it thoroughly under warm tap water, using a soft brush to gently scrub the foliage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the plant is straightforward: simply decide on your desired location and bury the weighted base deep into your aquarium substrate. To ensure it looks natural, push the base down until the gravel covers the entire plastic anchor.
Compatibility is broad, as the material is chemically inert and safe for both freshwater and tropical setups. For cleaning, remove the plant during your routine water change. Use a soft-bristled brush or a gentle spray from your tap to remove any surface algae or debris. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents, as these can leave residues that may be harmful to your fish.
