I'm a complete newbie to maintaining aquariums. I have a 5 gal. tank with a betta and started with plastic plants. Tried really hard to purchase soft plastic plants to protect his fins. He had some torn fins; don't know if it was the plants. Decided to try real plants. GreenPro received lots of great reviews and did not disappoint. The plants arrived beautifully packaged, still wet in their pots, lush, and green. I've only had them a week and they look great. Hoping I can keep them alive.
