Artifical plants, which one?

[joel08]

So I have a 47cm water depth so I can buy tall fake plants. Which one should I buy?

Is the last one silk or plastic?

I'd stick with silk. Could you do a mix of the first two or do you want just one type?

I think either silk plant would be a good option, but in the end this is your choice. I'd stay away from the fake hornwart because it looks spiky, which can tear fins or cause other injuries.

Actually the Hornwort was my 1st option because it looks typical goldfish plant. But since its plastic I might have to change my mind. I think i will stick with the one in the first web link.

I like the Sydecco plastic plant's you can get in the UK.

I like the first two. Find out the store's return policy, just in case your plant is too pokey. You want to try to stick with soft plants, with smooth edging, as our darlings are very clumsy swimmers.

I actually have a bamboo plant, which I love, but it's very pointy, so I stopped using it.

I like the last one, :3

I like the looks of the last link ,but I would suggest silk for a goldfish tank because they are more natural looking and softer on fish fins

I have some fake hornwort things and they're not as pokey as they look, but I would stick with silk if you have a telescope or something for sure. Silk is definitely the safer choice, I think, even though I actually have plastic ones

I like the second photo plant the best.

Silk plants is best. Non pointy plants are best also.
