Aquarium Plant Weights

Flexible and bendable Non-toxic for fish, shrimp, and snails Do not contain lead Many aquarium plants will float if uprooted, but plant weights to help make sure your plants stay where you want them. These are made from tin and are aquarium safe, easily bent to fit where you want them, and can even be cut down if working with small plants. They will not rust and are completely reusable and recyclable. Amount: Each package contains 10 weights. Directions: Carefully wrap weight around base of plant roughly one inch from the bottom. Bury base of plant in substrate to facilitate root growth. Use Cases: We often use them with stem plants, anubias, java fern, bulb plants, and other plants that keep floating or moving around in the water. Once the plant starts growing roots into the ground, they will stay firmly affixed and no longer need the plant weight.  Plant weights can be reused, so simply rinse and dry them off for storage until the next time you need them. Material: These strips are made from tin and do not contain lead. We have found them to have no impact on fish, shrimp and snails.
