What company makes the best silk plants?

[aquarob]

I was just wondering if anyone could suggest a company that makes the best (most realistic looking) silk plants. I am currently setting up a 46g Bowfront tank I got off of craigslist as a tetra tank w/ driftwood and silk plants. Most of the plants I have found labeled as "silk" are not really silk, more like nylon/cotton and don't appear realistic at all.

Anyone? Thanks!

Try looking through craft stores, they might have some really good oooking artificial plants. But if you want authentic looking aquatics, the only ones I've ever seen are the ones by Tetra, called Water Wonders Silk.

But you should be able to fund some at a craft store like Riiz said

This place has them really cheap: http://store.seacorals.net/tewawosipl.html . I'm going to try with silk too because my fish keep digging up my plants and they keep dying :'( My fish are bad though, they need punishment lol

I always liked the "Imagine Gold" base plant collection - pretty nice looking plants. I have also used tetra water wonders product - it isnt too bad either. Real is much better though

Why are you choosing to go artificial? I'm sure the suggestions so far are good, but even minimal light can offer low maintenance live options.

Easy, I'm currently dealing with 4 tanks, one of which is already heavily planted. Will be nice to have a tank with little to no maintenance required beyond water changes and rinsing out my filter floss.
