Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this plant safe for betta fish?

Yes, it is safe, but ensure the plastic edges are not sharp; if they feel firm, you can gently rinse them in warm water to soften the material.

Can I use this in a saltwater tank?

Yes, the materials used in the Vibrance range are chemically inert and suitable for saltwater environments.

Will this plant affect my water parameters?

No, because it is made of high-quality, non-toxic plastic, it will not leach chemicals into the water or alter pH or ammonia levels.

How do I clean it without harming my fish?

Remove the plant during a scheduled water change and clean it separately in a container of water, then replace it in the tank.

Does it need any specific lighting?

No, this is an artificial plant and does not require any light source to maintain its appearance.

Troubleshooting

Plant keeps floating to the surface

Ensure the weighted base is buried deep enough under at least 2-3cm of substrate to provide adequate anchoring.

Algae buildup on leaves

Remove the plant and gently scrub the plastic leaves with a soft brush; avoid using harsh chemicals or soap which can be toxic to fish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to install with weighted base
  • Will not be eaten or destroyed by fish
  • Requires no specialized lighting or water parameters
  • Creates an instant lush, full appearance
  • Durable plastic construction for long-term use

Cons

  • Does not contribute to natural oxygenation
  • Cannot be propagated or grown
  • Plastic leaves may collect algae over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply bury the weighted base into your chosen substrate—sand, gravel, or stone—until only the base is hidden, allowing the plant to stand naturally. This product is compatible with both freshwater and saltwater setups, as the inert plastic will not degrade in varying pH levels. To keep the plant looking its best, gently remove it during routine water changes and rinse it under tap water. If algae growth appears, use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the leaves while submerged in a bucket of tank water to preserve the color.
