yes mate you can use fake plant's,two of my tank's have fake plant's,one being crammed full off plastic
I have one tank with real plant's, but iam awful with real,so fake's are a god send
Thing with butterfly fish they need lot's of open surface space so remember this when decorating tank
thanks a lot mate...just wondering also how do they go with a bit of travel....nearest city I can buy one is 5 hours drive away...i've heard they struggle when it comes to environmental fluctuations?? Is there any way to minimise this?
