Product Information
Full details
The Betta Choice Combi Plastic Plant is ideal for aquarium hobbyists who want to create a visually striking, low-maintenance underwater landscape without the challenges of live aquatic vegetation. This 25cm artificial plant serves as a durable focal point for both freshwater and saltwater tanks, offering a safe environment for fish; however, users should be aware that because it is made of plastic, it does not contribute to biological oxygenation or nutrient uptake like real plants.

FAQs
Is this plant safe for my Betta fish?
Yes, it is designed to be safe for aquarium inhabitants, though we recommend checking that the plastic edges are smooth before introducing them to long-finned fish.
Does this plant affect my water chemistry?
No, this is an inert plastic decoration and will not change your pH, ammonia, or nitrate levels.
Can I use this in a saltwater tank?
Yes, the materials are completely compatible with both saltwater and freshwater aquarium environments.
How tall is the plant exactly?
This specific model stands 25cm tall.
Do I need to soak the plant before adding it to the tank?
It is not strictly required, but a quick rinse under running water is recommended to remove any dust from transport.
Troubleshooting
Plant keeps floating to the surface
Ensure the weighted base is pushed deep enough into the substrate to create a secure anchor.
Plant looks covered in algae
Remove the plant and gently scrub it with a soft brush in old tank water during your water change.
Edges of the plant look sharp
If you have delicate fish like long-finned Bettas, inspect the plastic leaves for any rough edges; if found, they can be lightly trimmed with safety scissors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your artificial decor is a simple process. First, rinse the plant under clean, lukewarm tap water to remove any dust from packaging. Once rinsed, select your desired location in the aquarium, then gently press the weighted base into the substrate until the base is completely covered. Compatibility is broad; it works with gravel, sand, or aqua-soil substrates. For care, perform a routine inspection during your regular water change. If you notice algae buildup, remove the plant and rinse it in a bucket of tank water using a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub away debris. Do not use chemical soaps or detergents, as these are harmful to aquatic life.
