Glue for aquarium decor

[dewilde2]

So my friend just got some new aquarium plants (fake) and apparently some of them separated from the base...is there a type of glue she can use that is safe in the aquarium?

i would just use 100% silicon

Yep. And there are clear varieties available, at any hardware store.

why dont you just take them back and exchange them?

We bought aquarium-safe silicone at Wal Mart in the pet department. Works like a charm.....just be sure to let it cure overnight! I even siliconed three little terra cotta pots together to make a cave system, and the fish use it all the time.

You know, I just had the same problem but what I did was to heat a screwdriver tip up (or whatever) and melt/mushroom out the top of the base (after putting the leaf on of course) so the leaf couldn't come off. Six of one, half dozen of the other I suppose. No glue my way though and you can put it in the tank immediatly. Not that that's important.:sim:
