Product Information
Full details
The Aqua One Brightscape Pink Ambulia is perfect for aquarium hobbyists seeking to add vibrant color to their tanks without the demanding maintenance of live vegetation. This 20cm artificial plant offers an immediate aesthetic upgrade for fish owners, providing a safe environment for aquatic pets to hide and explore. While it delivers excellent visual impact and stability, it is important to note that as an artificial decoration, it does not contribute to biological filtration or oxygenation like real aquatic plants.

FAQs
Is this plant safe for goldfish?
Yes, it is perfectly safe. Unlike real plants, goldfish cannot eat or destroy this durable plastic decoration.
Can I use this in a saltwater tank?
This product is specifically designed for freshwater aquariums. Saltwater environments can cause degradation of the material over time.
Does the color fade over time?
The plant is made from high-quality materials, but prolonged exposure to very intense, high-output aquarium lighting may cause very gradual fading over several years.
Will the base scratch my glass tank?
The resin-rock base is smooth and should not scratch the glass, but you should always be gentle when placing or moving it.
Can I trim the leaves if they are too tall?
You can trim them with sharp scissors if necessary, but take care to ensure the edges remain smooth so they do not catch on fish fins.
Troubleshooting
The plant keeps floating to the surface
Ensure the weighted resin-rock base is pushed at least 1-2cm into the substrate. If you have fish that dig, consider placing a few larger stones around the base.
The plant looks dirty or covered in algae
Remove the plant and rinse it in a bucket of tank water using a soft-bristle brush to dislodge algae.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Does not improve water quality or oxygen levels

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Rinse the plant thoroughly under lukewarm running water to remove any dust from packaging.
- Choose a placement area where the plant will not directly block your filter intake.
- Dig a small hole in your substrate and place the resin-rock base firmly inside.
- Cover the base with surrounding gravel to hide the weight completely.
Compatibility
This decoration is inert, meaning it will not affect your water chemistry (pH, GH, or KH). It is compatible with all freshwater setups, including those containing cichlids or goldfish that might otherwise destroy live plants.
Care
Over time, biofilm or algae may grow on the leaves. To clean, remove the plant and gently wipe the leaves with a clean, aquarium-safe sponge. Never use household soaps or detergents, as these chemicals can be toxic to your fish.
