    Description

    Plants anchors are ideal for using to hold plants to the bottom of the aquarium.

    Certain fish that like to forage and uproot plants can cause havoc in the planted aquarium by digging them up and leaving you to re-plant them again. To use, simply take your cuttings and push them into the plant weight then wiggle into the substrate. As long as you have enough stems they will stay in place. Alternatively use a bit of sponge first.

    For those who have a problem with bottom-dwelling fish such as loaches, this is just what you need.

    These weights are made from high-quality ceramic that is harmless to aquatic life and are also used for stuffing foods light cucumber, courgette etc where you want them to so they don't float away.

    Note: these have all been used and cleaned.

    Only wanted to buy 3 but had to buy 10, now I’ve got 7 with no use but didn’t matter as plants died within a day of being in the tank. Good anchors though

    Very handy, especially for me, with short arms and a deep tank. Giant vallis now sinking nicely into substrate
