I can't stand the look of fake plants, my fish don't like them either. When i started out with gold fish i had silk plants, they're the only fish that i would use fake ones with.

I just switched from plastic to real about 4 months ago, and I tell 'ya, real is the way to go. *Yes, you never have to prune or feed your plastic plants, but you can really tell the difference (and the fish can REALLY tell). *They move differently, thier colors are more vibrant (even when you're trying your level best to kill them) *:-[ and the fish, well, the fish go NUTS.

Post Re: plants, plastic vs. live

A sentence in english, take 2 *:

Naw, I'm talking about the learning curve on my plants. I've got 2 Java Ferns in my tank. *Each came from a different LFS, and the newest one is obviously not enjoying it's new home. :'( It was was used to direct sunlight. It's struggling. It also could NOT be a Java Fern, but down here there aren't enough living examples that I could look at to know for sure.
I also got a "fountain plant" a while back, before I knew better. *I discovered, thanks to thekrib.com, that it wasn't a true aquatic plant and was going to die in my aquarium. It was kinda like watching the move "Titanic" at that point; I already knew what the ending was going to be like.

Actually, I've discovered that my mortality on my fish has dropped to zip. *I think I'm blaming the net and the plants for this.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[glow=color,strength,width][/glow][shadow=color,direction,width][/shadow] how can silk plants look more realistic? are you saying they look more realistic than real plants or fake plants?
