anyone have suggestions on what to use as anchors to keep plants from being pulled up by boisterous tank mate? I get them planted where I want them and next day one fish has managed to pull some up again....
thanks

These were attached to some bunch plants I bought from PetsMart. They work great until the plants establish roots.

Plant anchors are the way to go...but I have this on my mind so I'll just spit it out.
Someone I know from another forum takes little tupperware containers, fills them with a plant substrate, cuts holes in the lid (for the plant stalks and smaller ones for water movement), feeds the plant through, and buries the container. this keeps the plant in place. It also works for those who dont want to rip out their whole substrate but want to try a rootfeeding plant or two.
But yah, rocks or plant anchors are best lol
