The Silk Plant That I Took Apart So That It Can Fit In My Current Setu

[squiremaster]

When I got my plant, I figured out that it was too big. So I decided to take some of it out. And right now I have the one weight in there. So I if I get the 5.5G, do I have to get a new weight (which I don't know where to find one), or what. Please give me some suggestions

 

[squiremaster]

I just figured out that the setup that I want has two plastic plants with weights in them, so I can take the plastic ones out and put the silk ones in, But I will still except your suggestions

Weigh it down with a stone never failed for me.

 

[squiremaster]

yeah but how do I tie the plant on there

Did it not come with a heavy base already on it??

 

[squiremaster]

no I took parts of the plant out so now I have extras. here are some pics

here is the one in my current setup

here is the extra I wanna use on my next setup

here is the problem

superglue a small rock on the bottom of the plant and let it dry fully.

Then bury the plant in your substrate. Silk plants that you buy at a LFS or a fish store usually are equipped with anchors to secure them in the substrate.

p.s. plastic plants are just fine unless they have very abrasive edges. i've had plastic plants in several betta tanks without problems.

Pity you are in Canada - I just threw away about 15 Silk Plant Bases

aquarium silicon, use it to glue anything and just let dry fully before you put in the tank. I have made a few darling little caves and rocks structures with it.

I heard that people should not use harsh chemicals on any animal, Including us humans

use super glue and glue it to a rock, and before you ask its safe

Super glue was originally developed to be a temporary stitch for soldiers on the battlefield and allow there organs to be stuck back in place before waiting for proper stitches once evacced therefore its animal safe

its totally safe, we use it for glueing plants to rocks all the time, some use it for glueing corals to rocks also
