  • i would not recommend you to use artificial grass inside an aquarium. Even though our turf products have been tested perfectly safe for human and animals, but we don't design and make our products to be used inside an aquarium, neither have we tested it in a aquarium. There are many different fish species out there, and they all requires different living environment to live, I won't want you to jeopardize your fish by trying.

  • I saw some aquarium with artificial grass at the bottom and it looks good. Sad to hear that this artificial grass is not recommended for aquarium.

  • I think there's an artificial grass especially made for aquariums. You can check the pet store.

  • I will just then stick with the colorful fish tank stones for my aquarium decoration.

  • I'd rather use sand and stones for my fish tank, honestly.

  • I see it's been a while since you've posted, but I just want to ask if anyone ended up trying artificial grass in their aquarium long term. I'm curious if it caused any water quality issues or changes in fish behavior over time. I’ve considered using some for a turtle tank but was unsure about safety, especially with adhesives or any coatings that might leach into the water.

  • I’ve also tried a small patch of artificial grass in a tank before, and it looked fine at first, but over time debris got stuck under it and my water flow got weird. Natural plants like anubias pinto https://www.aquarzon.com/24-anubias have been way easier to deal with, they root nicely and stay put without causing weird buildup.
