Good morning everyone! Thanks for the nice compliments.Hi Kat! That is Moby, and he is actually called a blue Oranda. The blacks are generally much chunkier, and solid black. Yes, those are artificial plants purchased from ADG. They have a spike at the bottom, much like the artificial plants you put in a vase. They are each shoved underneath the stones, which I purchased at a place that sells stones for landscaping.If you purchase stone, you just want to make sure by doing the vinegar test that they will not affect your PH. You bring a little vinegar with you, and when placed on the stone it will fizz violently. Those are stones you want to avoid. If nothing happens or very little, the stones are fine.
Can you link to one here please? Every plastic plant I see has a plastic skirt, for lack of a better word, that is supposed to be weighted down with rocks/marbles etc. Those don't work with my fish. They rub and rub and eventually move the plants around. I would love to buy some that stay put. What is ADG? The tv show?
