Are silk plants not specifically designed for aquariums alright to use in one?
I liked some silk plants I saw in a fabric store and I was just wondering if I could indeed use those for my 2.5 Betta aquarium.

they could have chemicals on them, it’s best to avoid them and use the ones specifically designed for them
however, great job on having an actual aquarium for your betta! it always makes me happy to see not everyone shoves them in bowls… just hope it’s heated
I know what you mean….
I’ve used silk plants from walmart of all places for years with zero problems.
8 bucks for a tiny plant at the pet store or 3 bucks for a small bush at walmart…
i replace them every year sometimes earlier.. I have never had a problem.
my only guidelines are to make sure there is no paint on them and keep them as green as possible and rinse before going into tank.
