Lead plant weights

[KnightFire]

Are there any problems with using lead plant weights to keep plants on the bottom? I normally use plastic suction cups but bought some lead weight strip for 50p, and am trying to decide if I should use it or not.

If you dont want to use them then just bury the plant roots under the gravel

Bomag your signature cracks me up. It's nice to remind people to think about adult sizes when buying fish.

I saw these last night thoughts you'd find them interesting. that second picture is the same fish as the first just swimming over a stingray.
