You really have to re-work the plants to get them to look right.
Good color and movement in tank. I bought this when I was setting up my first 5 gallon aquarium. I didn't really like it. The plants seemed too big for a 5 gallon, and looked a bit fake. Removed and don't use them. Why 3 stars and not two? Well, they are what they say they are... fake plants...they didn't lie. Hard to tell from a picture on the internet what something really looks like, unfortunately have to buy it to find out, but felt it was a waste of money.These plants are very soft, and therefore very good for delicate betta fish fins. However, they look kind of cheap. The tops of the plants look great, but the bottoms are not painted, and the plastic parts stick out. They still look better than most plastic plants, but they still are not convincing.To be honest, I've seen better silk plantsmore realistic movements, better at hiding plastic. I've also seen much, much worse. This looks realistic enough to not be visually jarring.
The package contains three plants: a broadleafed light green plant, a bladeleaf medium green plant, and a very, VERY leafy dark green plant. The broadleaf came with the leaves nested like spoons, which I'm still struggling to correct; it looks decidedly unnatural, though I do like the color and shape of the leaves themselves. The positions of the leaves on the bladeleaf is much more natural and easier to shape. The dark green one is by far the most natural, but really needs to be in a tank larger than 1 gallon because it literally covers the entire inside of my betta's tank. You can get around this by sliding all the leaf segments all the way to the top, but it doesn't look as good that way.
Like I said, not super-duper awesome quality, but passable enough that I'm going to keep them for my tank setup.
