Marineland Bamboo for Aquariums & Terrariums is a low-maintenance alternative to caring for live plants in your tank. The soft plastic bamboo strand is three feet long and adds to the visual appeal of any aquatic environment. It can also help reduce fish stress by giving them a place to hide. You can anchor the bamboo to the bottom by burying it in the gravel， or remove the base if you prefer to let it float freely along the top. Using realistic plants in your aquascape creates a more natural setting for your aquarium or terrarium.
