Since it's plastic, it may not be a true representation of any real plant, just a stylised version  :-\



Word of caution about tanks on you tube - while many of them are truly inspirational, others are horrendous. Be careful when looking at these.

All three of the plants in there are plastic. From what I can see, there doesn't seem to be anything on the bottom of the tank. If you look at the base of the stems, you'll see they disappear into a brownish blob, as does the plant on the right. I only got real plants quite recently. I've had synthetic plants, both plastic and silk, for years - so I know what to look for  ;)

I suspected they might be, but I was viewing on a tablet, so it wasn't entirely clear. However the plant I linked would be a fair match in appearance. :)

Plastic pipes do have their place but not in a main tank, in my opinion. I use them in my quarantine/hospital tank to give the fish somewhere to hide and they can be sterilised with bleach if the worst should happen. I wouldn't use them in any other tank though.
