Zoo Med Labs Betta Plants - Bamboo

I am new to aquarium ownership and have just a one-gallon desktop aquarium. I had zero plants in my aquarium. When I put in the Bamboo Plant, Freddy immediately started to frolic in the leaves. He seemed very happy! And an added benefit was that the Bamboo Plant was very realistic and did a great job camouflaging my filter. Very happy with this purchase.

I purchased a couple of these for my 7 betta fish, knowing that most of the plastic plants offered out there are way too abrasive or sharp for thier fins. Unless other reviewers are getting a knock-off version of this product, I can't echo thier opinion that it is dangerous to fish in any way. If the fish has a personal preference not to hide in it, then that's on the fish.

Personally, I have five halfmoons with gorgeous finnage and none of them have been harmed in any way by this particular Zoo Med variety (bamboo). I have not tried the others. You can be very flexible with where you place it in the tank, and yes, you CAN bend them some and create very beautiful tank scapes for what they are. Fake plants. The price is right. Go for it.

This is so cool, how you can just stick it to the side of the tank. My (spoiled) Betta, Devasaprath, uses it for a hammock, and it seems he is often times more comfortable than my wife and I! Great value, looks great in the tank, and we are all very pleased with this purchase!

This plant was tiny, stiff as a I don't know what, and basically I just have it hidden to the back of my hex tank because even if you were only interested in putting it in a fishbowl it would still look wack. The only thing that I like about it is the unique shape of the leaves, and the bright vibrant color. The picture does no justice to the color, however the picture looks just like it, stiff and TINY. Basically the pic you see, just pretend that is it, no manipulating it or softening/repositioning it.

The suction cup holds well on glass, and the plant can be manipulated to hang off a wall or floor of a fish tank. The two main branches are bendable so you can sort of arrange where you want the plant to cover. There are a lot of leaves on this plant, providing a pretty thick screen. This, I imagine, would make a fish feel well hidden. However, the stems and leaves are stiff and the pointed tips are sharp. I placed it in a 5-gallon tank with 4 guppies and they hated it. One approached it, retreated and none of them would ever go anywhere near it again. I have the Marina Betta Kit plastic hair grass plant (bought from Amazon) that my guppies swim through, down into, and around with no hesitation. The hair grass is softer than the bamboo, with no sharp edges. So 3 stars because I think this plant will provide an effective screen for a shy fish, but no more than that because I know there are softer, safer plants available through Amazon.
