Where is a good place to get fake plants at a good price? How we'll does silk plants hold up in a cichlid tank or should I just use plastic?

[four_by_ken]

I say go with plastic but by short ones medium ones tall ones and different shades of green also

I've tried silk once.  They look nice out of the package,  but start to fray.  I was concerned the string may be eaten, so took it out.

I use plastic in all my tanks.  Ordered most from Petco online when they offer $15 or $20 off total order, plus free shipping on orders over $49.

I'm hoping with the Christmas approaching Petco will offer the 15 or 20 off the order deal. I talked to someone, and they said they went to a craft store and bought plastic flowers and glues them to stone.

I use silk in mine, looks more natural/realistic. They will start to fray a bit but it takes some time for that. I've had silk in my Mbuna tank for just over a year now and they are just starting to show a tiny bit of fray but nothing major yet.

Good to know Steve thanks

Silk lasts years in the tank, used them in many tanks over the years.  Silk is cheaper and you get larger plant choices.

How would you clean silk plants? Or do you

[mightieskeeper]

I use to take them out of tank and clean them with hand brush gently.
