Being weighted, the Sydeco plants don’t even need a substrate - making them perfect for quarantine or hospital tanks. Not being live, artificial plants don’t need specialised lighting, fertilisers, nutritious substrates or CO2. However, artificial plants definitely have their place, not just with beginners but more seasoned aquarists too. Plastic plants may be rubbished by some purists and, if I’m going down the biotope route, I will of course try to use natural products wherever possible. However, it wasn’t until I started to list all the benefits of a tropical community tank with artificial plants that I realised just how good these things are - and we got aquascaping expert Dean Barratt from Sydeco to show us how good his company’s range look too! Be it a biotope, nature aquarium, hi-tech reef tank, first community tank or simple breeding tank, we embrace each one, as all have their appeal and individual merits. I like to think that we at PFK headquarters represent a broad church and are open minded to all kinds of fishkeeping.
Impressed? Jeremy Gay sings the praises of the Sydeco plastic plant range from Rosewood and organises a step-by-step guide to show them at their realistic best.
This amazing aquascape has been set up using only plastic plants.
