- Can you use artificial grass in an aquarium? How to use artificial grass in an aquarium. We have wanted a grass carpet plant in our 125 gallon tank but due to our clown barbs digging up and eating the plants we had to come up with an other option. We decided to try artificial grass and to date it is working really well.

Its not that often one of the "fish tube" type channels show off a product that I get excited about. This looks AMAZING. It is so hard to grow a good carpet sometimes. And, some tanks just are not gonna have a carpet no matter what due to the stocking. I was thinking I could line the bottom, and the sides, AND the back of the tank. Thank you for making this video. I might just go buy a new tank to try it. I ordered some already through your affil link. cheers
Thank you! We couldn’t be happier with how this looks. It’s holding up really well and is easy to clean.
Is there an update to how the Artificial Grass and backing did over time in the tank?
Would like to know this as well
Love this tank it's definitely not over stocked, my tank has a mixture of artificial and natural plants. I might have to try this product. 😃
Color and texture, look amazingly life-like. The overall scene of the tank is just gorgeous! The grass looks like it belongs with the live plants.
Thank you.
Wow Sheila! That grass lawn made the tank looking more natured I think you should have more pices of it to make it more green there you want it to look fine! You are doing a great job! Hows the houseplants doing did it help you out a little with the plant list I gave you? From your friend Mikael! Take care my friend and good luck with it!
Mikael, thanks! Yes it did, I looked into a few of them.
Gorgeous tank, just love it, thanks for the video, i have been thinking of adding it to my tank also
🌵Hello from Arizona! I was wondering if loading the grass with some sand might weigh it down. When artificial turf is installed on the ground they load it up with sand to make it stand up.🌵
Thank you for this! I'm so excited. I hope it does well for you over time. If it does I'll probably put it in all my tanks haha a carpet look is so beautiful but hard to get naturally sometimes.
I'm curious to see if it's not hurting fish or shrimp in a smaller size tank..... 👀🤔
As long as it isn’t releasing toxins or effecting pH should be good 🙂
I have been debating this for my tanks loved getting insight on it!
Beautiful fact:the clown barbs wanted to do their own aquascaping :)
I couldn't find the update you promised. Like everyone, I too am wondering how this grass functioned over a longer period. Could you please let us know? Thank you.
We did updates in with other videos relating to this tank. It did well over the time we used it (approximately 12 months), no problems at all. It cleaned well and kept its color. Fish all remained healthy and are still alive today.
I wonder is it sharp or pointy? Will it be fine with the betta fins?
i'm pretty sure this is safe for betta's, if not get a dwarf hairgrass as an alternative since betta's are not that nippy.
It’s not sharp at all.
Where did you get the thing that keeps the other substrates hitting each other?
Hi.. I was, am thinking of placing some artificial grass. The one used in the video looks like the generic turf for landscaping, so it should survive the water environment of a fish tank depends of the chemical factor in the material and if will breakdown over time due to the composition for environment care. I don't think the fish will bother with after a few test bites.
What a great idea! I love it!
Thanks!
I have a goldfish tank and wanted to make the tank more pleasing to look at and was wondering if you think it would be easy to siphon the fish waste from the artificial grass?
Also I have tried live plants in the tank and the goldfish did start to eat them as expected do you think the goldfish might try to eat the grass and if they did do you think it could harm them?
We have added some of this to our goldfish tank and have not had any problems to date. Our most recent video is an update on this grass and also cleaning it.

Would a female betta be fine in a 50 gallon with other community fish? (cardinal tetra, rams, platys, corydoras and dwarf rainbowfish) or even a plakat male?
Looks awesome what are the black separates your using in the aquarium plz
It's the material we use to make our tank dividers.
Brilliant tank !! What does it look like today ?
What do y'all have y'all's fish tanks sitting on? I have my 10 gallon tank on a big dresser right now but it has water damage from when I do water changes how do you guys keep from getting water on your dressers or do you get water on your dresser but it's not a problem?
I've been needing advice on this thank youuu
Just found this video. Very nice aquascape you've got!
so what was the result after a few months? i cant find a follow up.
where i live it’s currently really hard to find aquatic plants
would this be safe for shrimp i wonder
Pretty sure
Just wondering its been 4 years now, how was it? Any updates? Thanks
I bet if you super glued this on top of a ceramic tile it would go down quite well without the need of a substrate.
I’m sure that would work too. We need substrate for the other live plants though.
Sorry, I meant so you didn't need to hold the grass down. I agree you do need substrate to give it a more organic look and for the plants. (Unless you wanted the flat earth look.) lol
what do you use to separate the different gravel?
Great idea! I love the look it gives 💚💚🌿🌿
How is this product doing in your tank? I bought it but have been waiting on an update!!! 🤗
It’s doing great, no issues at all so far. I will be doing an update video in the next month or two. I want to give it more time before I give my final thoughts.
Thank you!!! I love your videos!
I read a review that it killed someones axilotis on Amazon. Im using it for carpet for my frog...getting concerned.

Can I use fake grass in my guppy breeding tank? Will they get hurt?
I think this is a neat idea and looks natural
Thanks Susan.
Any update? I have this grass and want to use it today in my aquarium! Please help!? 🥺
We used the grass for several months and also used it in other tanks. we had no issues with it at all.
Hey Mrs Shiela (pardon me if I didn't spell it correctly)
Is it possible to have beneficial bacteria without introducing one? Like naturally having them in your tank?
It is but the tank would have to have been established for a long time and have the right conditions for bacteria growth.
Are these carpets too spiny or soft??
Pls let me know that can i use these carpets in my goldfish tank
Are they too spiny that they will penetrate my goldfish's body
Pls let me know that they are soft or spiny??
Can we use this artificial grass mat in my goldfish tank?
Can we setup this grass for gold fish tank please reply
Beautiful
I also use this in my goldfish tank for natural environments it's agood idea
Hi there. How is your goldfish reacting to the artificial grass? I also want to buy one for my aquarium.
How big is ur aquarium?
Is it soft? I’m worried about my Cory’s barbules!
Yes, it is soft but I’m not sure I’d use it in a tank with Cory’s.
What kind of puffer fish do you have ?
Will the same filter an media with bacteria already established be able to switch over to salt water from fresh water ? Or do you have to start the nitrogen cycle over again?
I don’t know anything about salt water so I can’t advise.
Thank you
Hi Did it work ?
Awsome tank
I just seen this video just wondering how is it going since it’s been a year?
It held up really well and we had no issues with it at all. Unfortunately this tank had to be broken down about 3 months ago due to a leak so we had to remove it.
Can't find the link for the grass
Those are really small pieces. Could I just buy normal astroturf?
Very nice! Poor anubias, though.
Thanks. I know right!
Can you provide a link? The one you gave is showing your page but I don't see it listed.
I have added it to the page.
Beautiful tank

@@Lifewithpets72 What fish are at time stamp 8:28 ? they are gorgeous :) btw TY so much for taking the time to answer my comment xx
They’re Denison barbs. Minimum tank size 55 gallons but 75 gallons is better, they’re fast swimmers. They need to be in groups of 5 of more otherwise they fight a lot. They get to be 5-6 inches. Ours are approximately 4-5 inches.
RIP on the vacuum part
There is a 4 pack of this and it’s a 12x12 do you think that’ll be enough to cover the bottom of my 55g
It should be based on the measurements.
There are reviews on Amazon saying this grass isn't aquarium safe, is that true? Did you guys have any issues with it? Thanks in advance...
We have had this in our aquarium for 10 months and not had a single issue with it. We have not lost a single fish in that time either.
@@Lifewithpets72 Awesome! Thanks for your time...
Hello Sheila, how is the artificial grass holding up??
It held up really well and we had no issues with it at all. Unfortunately this tank had to be broken down due to a leak about three months ago so we had to remove it.
What are the fish in your tank, especially the catfish?
Pictus Catfish.
Is this safe for Betta fish tank?

Didn't your fake grass give off a chemical smell... ? If yes how did u deal with it
No, there was no smell at all.
I know it's been a year but does anyone know what happened to this product???? Can't find it anywhere.
It’s on my Amazon page. In the description box is a link to the page. It is an affiliate link.

No the tank is too small. They get 6-8 inches.
I love the grass

Cute guppy like if you agree
Is there an update on this?
Yes we did a video several months later. It worked really well in the tank with no issues at all.
@@Lifewithpets72 awesome, I love the idea

You tiger barbs look long mine are short and fat
They’re not tiger barbs they’re clown barbs. They get 5-6 inches in length.
Artificial aquarium plants can harm sensitive fish, especially plastic plants. ... They do not absorb nitrates and carbon dioxide in the water nor provide fish with oxygen, thus they have no biological value in the tank. Artificial plants do not inhibit algae growth, but they do not help with it either.
Is it dangerous for turtles?
@@ltan7136 Artificial grass and aquatic plants in a turtle tank are not dangerous for turtles but they trap food and waste which reduces the quality of the aquarium water.
It looks good. But, artificial plants are cheating.
Cheating? As explained in the video i f you have fish that destroy plants like we do then this is a good option.
@@Lifewithpets72 Yeah, I get that, and this is a solution. But, it would have to be a last resort for me. I like keeping the plants almost as much as I like keeping the fish. If my fish wouldn't let me have a carpet in their tank, I'd probably just give up on the idea of having one before adding a fake one. But, that's just me.
