Fluval Chi Boxwood and Tall Grass Aquarium Ornament

This is a perfect ornament for the Fluval Chi. As mentioned by another reviewer, it seems that people are confusing two separate items. The "Large Mountain" ornament is the larger piece that's meant to be placed in the submerged plant box inside the aquarium; the "Waterfall Mountain" is the smaller ornament that's meant to be placed in the pebble box/topper on top of the filter. Hope this helps!

My beta's tank was getting a little blah, so to speak, so I thought I'd spice it up a bit with a new decoration! I have the Fluval Chi 6.6g aquarium and just had some rocks in the basket with a bamboo sculpture in the middle of it. I came to amazon (my go to site that has never failed me) looking for something to spice things up a bit. I saw the Fluval Chi lily pad and plant decoration and thought that it would match perfectly with my beta, Petri. I read some reviews saying that the whole decoration just wouldn't stay put at the bottom and that it would float to the top which made me a bit weary. I decided to purchase it anyways because it just looked so cool and for $10, I figured I wasn't really going to lose much if it turned out to be a dud. Now, two days later, my decoration has arrived! Alas, the reviews about the whole piece floating turned out to be true. Luckily I used a tiny bit of brain power to apply a quick fix and you'd never be any wiser unless I told you. You see, there are spaces at the bottom of the grass piece because the grass "sprouts" in patches, if you will. So the spaces in between the grass are perfect little hiding spots for a few rocks. And as we all know, rocks sink! Ta-da! No more floating decoration. This turned out to be a much easier fix than trying to tie the whole thing down or just tossing it out and loosing $10 bucks. It now looks amazing in my tank and I do believe my beta has a bit of a spring in his swim, thanks to his new, spectacular decoration... (Although that may just be me attempting to apply human-like characteristics to an animal that could care none the less. But hey. At least one of us can truly enjoy it!)

Buy Fluval Chi Boxwood and Tall Grass Aquarium Ornament Now

I use this tank ornament in 2.5 gallon drum bowls with my bettas... I rotate it through each of my tanks and all of the fish just love it. I was worried when I ordered it online that the whole thing would float, since the plant, in a Fluval, is intended to be mounted upside down (I think)... but actually this is PERFECT for a standard tank this size or slightly larger. Don't buy it for your 1-1.5 gallon; I tried. Plant too big.) At first, placing it the way I wanted it was a challenge. Now I fill the tanks with three or four inches of water, place the ornament, and then pour the gravel in on top of it and spread it out. This weighs down the gridded bottom perfectly. Then I finish filling the tank with water. The two tendrils are absolutely gorgeous and provide a hiding place and as well as an engaging activity for the fish, who love to swim around and between them. It also helps me provide variety in my tanks, since the tendrils can be moved around, lengthened, and tangled gently as you see fit.) They are actually secured with a simple knot to the gridded plastic of the mat, so you can adjust them if you like (I made mine shorter.) They are a smooth, rubbery material that is seamless and provide no threat to betta fins. The leaves in the center are more of a burgundy than a fuscia as seen in the photo, but poseable and the fish like to rest on them. The colors look good with my blue, red, and black/purple fish. The lily pads are simple and realistic, which is nice, so they don't stand out. They give a nice Asian feel to the tank and I still have room to add a rock sculpture, bridge, elephant, or stack of pebbles. I am here now online again looking for similar accessories... I want an orange one! You can't go wrong with this tank decoration!

Want Fluval Chi Boxwood and Tall Grass Aquarium Ornament Discount?

Overall I am very pleased with my purchase but I gave the product 4 stars due to the fact that no matter which way I turn the ornament, it does not sit flush in the plant box at the bottom of the aquarium. There is always a gap on one or more sides where the ornament fits too tightly to slide all the way into place. However, the difference is negligible and still looks great in the aquarium.
