Product Information
Full details
The Betta Choice Combi Plastic Plant in Purple and Pink is an ideal decorative solution for aquarium hobbyists who want to add vibrant color and natural texture to their tanks without the maintenance demands of live aquatic plants. Designed to mimic the appearance of natural river and lake flora, this 30cm artificial plant provides an immediate focal point and safe shelter for fish; however, users should note that as a plastic ornament, it does not contribute to oxygenation or biological water filtration like live vegetation.

FAQs
Is this plant safe for goldfish?
Yes, it is perfectly safe. Unlike live plants, these plastic plants cannot be eaten or uprooted by goldfish.
Can I use this in a saltwater tank?
Yes, the materials used are durable and safe for both freshwater and saltwater environments.
How do I secure the plant in the tank?
The plant comes with a built-in weighted base. Simply bury this base in your aquarium gravel or sand to keep it standing upright.
Will the colors fade over time?
The plant is made from durable plastic, but it is recommended to keep it away from direct, harsh sunlight to maintain color vibrancy.
Can I trim the plant if it is too tall?
It is not recommended to trim the plant, as it may leave sharp edges that could potentially injure your fish.
Troubleshooting
The plant keeps floating to the surface
Ensure the weighted base is buried deep enough into the substrate to provide a stable anchor.
The leaves look dull or dirty
Remove the plant and rinse it thoroughly under clean water; if algae is present, use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the leaves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply rinse the plant under cool, tap water to remove any dust from packaging before placing it in your aquarium. Choose a spot where the water flow is moderate to allow the leaves to sway naturally. Compatibility is universal; the inert plastic is safe for all freshwater and saltwater species. For care, inspect the plant during your routine maintenance schedule. If you notice algae growth, remove the plant and gently scrub the leaves with a soft brush under lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh soaps or chemicals, as these can leave toxic residues that may harm your fish.
