critter_crazy Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Not sure which section this is best put under but I stumbled across this online while looking for some real looking fake plants for my cichlid tank http://www.treemakers.co.nz/Products%20Frame%20Set.htm (looking at the ferns & grasses). Does anyone know whether these would be safe for aquarium use? :dunno: I'm currently using aqua one silk plants but they seem to get dirty easily and with some of them the fish can easily rip them and pull leaves off etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 No plastic plants are safe! Plastic can choke aquatic life. Real plants are much better. :sml1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I think the apricot gerbera would look stunning in your cichlid tank ( :sick: ) best to email them, I think those ones may have metal wire cores that may rust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Stupid fish :lol: best to email them, I think those ones may have metal wire cores that may rust Oh good point! Didn't even think of that! I might just track down some anubis nana, that's ment to be too leathery for fish to eat huh? Having said that I'm still finding peices of digestest aqua one silk plants so maybe not :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 lol, the silk "Milfoil" gets owned by even platies. probably not good for them either. I get the Really big ones i.e. ambulia style. and break them down into smaller plants and bunches every now and then people sell box loads of them on here though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yeap I think that's the one I had. I do love the ambulia style ones. Oh well, might just stick to driftwood and rocks for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 My anubias doesn't get eaten. Java fern is said to be bitter so most fish won't touch it either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossPants Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Java fern gets nailed in all our tanks... Particularly the cichlids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
