  • Curved for easy planting
  • Great for placing small plants

Planting tweezers often make planting small stems and other plants easier than using your hands. They allow you to get plants deeper into the substrate so plants can absorb nutrients and form a strong root structure. These particular tweezers are curved at the end to get plants into even the smallest spaces and for more control while planting at an angle. This is especially useful if you have a deep tank.

Makes Planting Easy

We chose these 10.5-inch stainless tweezers because of the nice angle at the end. This allows you to firmly grab stem plants, cryptocorynes, and swords and plant them as deeply as needed into the substrate. Why use your fingers to create a giant crater when you can use these thin, precision tips to create a hole just small enough for the plant without disturbing the surrounding area?

Perfect for Root Tabs

If your root-feeding plants are turning yellow, make sure to add some Easy Root Tabs. Use these tweezers to insert them directly under and around the plant to make sure they get plenty of nutrients right where they need it.

Nice while it lasted

Bought them almost a year ago. Good for planting and feeding fish, but broke on me when I was gripping it at a weird angle.

Started to rust

I bought my planting tweezers about 4 months ago, and so far, they have worked great! The only fault is that mine started rusting. I use them quite often though and dry them afterward, but there are still rusting spots towards the planting end. The rust doesn't affect the usability of the product, it's really just an aesthetics thing, though I was surprised because it's stainless steel, but it was only $6. Overall, if you don't mind some rust spots, these are a great product.

They get the job done, just not as easily as one might want.

Over all I feel like the quality of the materials is great. With that, the contacting points that hold the plant are not even, so really only the tips hold what you want unless you put a lot of pressure on them.

DOn't last long in my expierience!

Purchased these tweezer May 2019 and they failed June 2020. The welds that hold the top together let go. They were not subjected to any abuse or used other than they were attended.
In my view a metal product like this should be nearly a once in a life time purchase, not a yearly purchase. I contacted the "Coop" and received the following:

"Unfortunately, these were purchased May 25, 2019. This far exceeds our 30 day coverage on products, without a warranty."

I am still a big fan of the "Coop" but must admit I was disappointed in there response. Obviously the weld was defective and I think the product should have been replaced.

Works like a charm

I got these because i was having trouble getting my stem plants to stay in the gravel when I first get them. I bought these and plant weights and it has helped so much!

These work well. I wish there were something longer so I don't have to put my arm so far in the water of my 75 gallon tank.

Planting tweezers work great

Bought my first pair of planting tweezers and went with these from Aquarium Co-Op. They are nice quality and work great to add the fertilizer capsules I purchased from them also. Shipping was fast. Thank you.

Great for working on plants

Great. They feel like a sturdy material. They have a good length and the angle on the end makes planting easier.

Makes planting easy

A very convenient tool for placing plants into sand and gravel. These tweezers are not absolutely necessary, but if you have a lot of plants like me they sure make life easier. Especially if you have any inhabitants that occasionally uproot things, this tool makes putting them back or adding new plants much easier.

Just Good Tweezers

Simple tool, but well made. Heavy gauge steel feels good in the hand. Not flimsy and not too stiff. I thought I would want a longer set but after a couple days of planting and rearranging I'm convinced they're just right. They're long enough to reach tight corners, and short enough to weave in through spider wood branches.
