"Product looks exactly like photo. I got these to decorate my tank not so much for fish comfort since he has other leaves he can lay on. I think they are perfect to add a bit of color to your tank with some coverage."

— Ashley

"Some of the plants came broken and unattached from there base"

Bottom Line

These plants add a lot of color and enjoyment to your tank, but be mindful of their fragility and plastic material. Consider the potential risks to your fish and be prepared to handle or replace broken parts.
