I took a page from another reviewer, and spent time with a nail clipper and scissors removing those horrible little plastic things at the bottom.

Once that was done, I like these. They look great in my betta's tank. They're soft enough to not pose any danger for his fins (once I did the trimming) and they do a great job staying upright.

For the price, can't beat them.

These plants are perfect for my Cichlid tank! Cichlids love to move around the gravel to make a place to hang out. Other plants that have bases that needed to be covered were constantly being uncovered and moved around. These are great because they stay in place with out the base planted in the gravel and look great sitting on top . They also can be easily rearranged. I replaced all of my plants with Bio-Orb plants after purchasing these.

one of the leaves on the green plant was loose and had to be pushed back in, hoping it holds, it has a smaller weight than other plants its size, the leaves are softer/silkier than the other biorb plants I have. both are kind of bright, but still look good in the aquarium (fish kept eating live plants so needed to add some artificials), make nice accents when added as individuals to the m ix now in the tank

There is a lot of plastic on these "silk plants". The vine-like one does in fact have small sprays of plastic, that have pointy tips on it's plastic stems...but even the dark green one I received had plastic stems that snagged panty hose....some people here have used them with Bettas but what I received was concerning... If you have a Betta or any other fish with delicate fins I'd just be aware of this.

My betta keeps snagging his fins on plants and decorations. Why are all aquarium decorations so sharp? These are the only soft silk plants I've been able to find without major sharp plastic pieces. My betta loves to hide among the large leaves - these are a big hit. Even with these being seemingly the least sharp aquarium plants on the market, there were still a few potentially sharp areas I fixed. There was little pokey plastic greenery around the bottom, but I trimmed that off. The stems themselves are plastic and have a few sharp snags, but I filed the sharp spots down with sandpaper. After those changes they're perfect - no fin damage after many weeks of use. I only wish the manufacturer offered more options of plant types and colors with these nice broad silk leaves. Many of their other plant offerings have plastic leaves or lots of sharp areas. They have a small version of these same broad-leaf plants, which I also tried to order, but it's out of stock and has been backordered indefinitely.
