Many aquarium plants will float if uprooted, but plant weights to help make sure your plants stay where you want them. These are aquarium safe, easily bend 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.
No More Floating Plants
One of the all-too-common problems with new stem plants is that they often come with no roots and won't stay planted in the substrate. Not to worry — just wrap one of these plant weights at the base of the plant, approximately 1 inch from the bottom. Then bury the plant weight into the ground and the plant will stay in place.
Safe for Fish, Shrimp, and Snails
While the plant weights do contain lead to remain soft and malleable, none of the aquatic animals we've kept them with have ever been affected. In our decades-long experience, plant weights are completely safe for fish, invertebrates, and more.
I can always rely on Aquarium Co-Op to provide a quality product. These weights are heavy enough to ensure that bunches of plants like anachris are weighted down so the ends of the plants are by the substrate so they can sprout roots rather than floating around in the tank. Don't get me wrong, the floating anachris is nice, too, but I wanted more of an aquascaped look for my tanks. This product delivers.

Plant weight
Just the perfect weight to help the plant stay in the substrate. It is very pliable and can be bend with ease. I am glad to have the support.

Surprisingly Useful/Versatile
I bought these to hold down some anubias I had just propogated. Ended up using a few to sink a cup with some peat moss for my killifish, and strap my java fern to a piece of wood. Definitely would recommend always having a few on hand!
