BEGONDIS Aquarium Decorations Fish Tank Artificial Green Water Plants Made of Soft Plastic

I like these. They are soft and they wave back and forth like live plants. I personally found them to be a good value.

The media could not be loaded.  My Current Tank info:10 gal freshwater ; 2 baby Platinum angelfish and 1 common pleco ; acclimated them Thursday Aug 4 ; first water change as of Thursday Aug 11 ; {normal readings / test readings before current water change} ph 7-7.8 nitrate/nitrite 0 KH 80-120 GH 60-120I was looking for some temporary fake plants for my angelfish to enjoy and hide in. They were very curious if they could eat it of course, but their little pecks couldn’t rip any of it off - which I became concerned of as soon as they started testing it out lol. I also wanted a tall plant to kind of hide the heater in the back; the angelfish love to sleep over there and I wanted to give them more privacy, as my pleco likes to go wild at night once they go to sleep.This was my first water change with them, and they loved the new adition instantly. They were super curious and had their attention for a solid 20 minutes which is impressive since they would rather spend more time begging for food (healthy angelfish act like their hungry all the time).Overall, the material is super soft. I soaked them in pre-conditioned tap water for 24+ hours, then before I put them in the tank I rinsed them off / soaked them with some of the current aquarium water. So far they are super happy and haven’t seen any changes regarding fish behavior, and I will be doing a new water test later tonight at a 24+ hr mark since the water change.**I was noticing a lot of bad reviews after my purchase regarding the plant decaying and getting stuck in the filter. Personally, a fake plant like this I wouldn’t put near the filter, I have it in the exact opposite side of the tank. Also, I’ve been told it’s good to be replacing your fake plants, some every 2 months, some every 5 months - depending on the quality / material of the product, the quality of the tank, the establishment of the tank, and the recommended replacement through that company.

These are nice, fan like plants for the aquarium

They look great!

This Begondis brand plastic plant has a large white base which looks too fake & stands out too much. So take some camo dark green or other dark flat spray paint & spray paint the cheezy white rock on this thing.

I'm writing this review five months after my date of purchase. I felt it necessary to post this review as a precautionary measure. The plants ARE beautiful! They sway in the water, reacting to water circulation and fish movement. They look like like you'd see on a Nat Geo, underwater show. I liked the idea of the silky softness touching my fish rather than plastic. The problem issue is that after a period of time, they literally start to decompose. The 2 photos that I have attached is after 5 months of submersion. The little, silky, fibrous strands detach from the stem of the plant. As the photos show, they entangle the innards of your pump/filter pieces like fishing line around a boat propeller. At first, during a regular cleaning, I noticed a few strands of the plant entangled in my motor pieces. No big deal- I cleaned it and let the plants remain thinking that it was just a few stragglers. In less than a week from then, my water flow slowed down. When I looked, my filter pad wasn't dirty, but my pump wasn't working as it should. This time, I found a glob of strands entangled. That's when it dawned on me that my plants were decaying. I didn't want to remove them because I didn't have replacement plants and I needed the extra hiding places for the biddies. Three days after the previous cleaning, it happened again. At this point, I pulled all of my silky plants and went to the pet store the next day to find plastic replacements. I also want to add, that I did NOT use any soap, chemical, or even rinse off the plants within the 5 months of them being in the aquarium. Trying to think objectively, maybe if I had rinsed them to remove any algae, they may not have decayed (but I didn't notice much algae growth). So, I'm led to believe that nothing other than submersion caused their decay. I have to say that I truly miss the majestic effect of them that can not be duplicated with my plastic replacement plants. I have a Whisperer fountain pump/filter that creates a current, and the plastic plants look "stiff" compared to the graceful movement of the silky ones. I'm grateful that the plant strands didn't burn up or break my Whisperer when they were basically "choking" the inner mechanisms. If you were to purchase these plants, I would do so with the intent of completely replacing them, perhaps every 3 months. I saw in other reviews, people saying that they started falling apart anywhere from immediately to my time allotment. I also saw folks stating that they only received one plant, when 3 were advertised per package. I did receive the correct quantity ordered. I think the "idea" of the silky plants is ingenious. They are truly beautiful, but beware, as 5 months of time took its toll on mine. My pump could have been broken and my fish jeopardized. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed them before they started to decay.

Update! Yes I was frustrated with the quality of the plants but I reached out to the seller & they let me get a different type of plant (that I loved) as a replacement. GREAT customer service! I loved the look & feel of these aquarium plants. The color is great too! I would recommend them to everyone if I had not spent the last few months picking all of the green “threads” that it sheds out of my filters! Finally removed plants completely from one tank when the free floating “threads” got stock in my filter & jammed up the impeller 3 times in one week. Three times I had to disassemble the filter to cut the “threads” off that had wrapped around the impeller! Another tank has a sponge filter so none of the “threads” have made it into the impeller but you can see them floating all over the tank. This cannot be healthy for the fish! I wish I hadn’t wasted my money!

I love these plants made so light they catch the currents and flow around so lifelike. They are very realistic! It is nice to not have to anchor them they are naturally weighted to stay down. I pulled a star as the fibres are coming off as my goldfish are sucking on them to get algae off the plants. I am concerned the loose fine leaves will be ingested at some point and hurt the fish. There isn't a lot, but gold fish might be a little rough on the plants.. so maybe better for smaller less algae aggressive fish?

this is a beautifull looking product...looks great and realistic in the tank.... the only problems is that my pleco cleans it and the tips of the plants look frayed ...the leaves come off easy and ive often had to clean my filter to remove the tiny branches ,(i hope my fish arent eating by accident as its a great place for fish food to gather..). baby fish can find a great hiding place in them as well...its nice..but i suspect they wont last for years

J’avoue qu’elle font une différence des autres plantes mais elles sont difficiles à nettoyer dommage

Aesthetic 7/10 looks nice and real from afarFunctionality 6/10 my betta doesn’t seem to interact or hide behind it.

The plants look very big on picture but when you get them very small small not what i wanted i wanted bigger taller ones.
