I have a spider plant one, it's great. I'm saving it for the tiger tank ;D Was a whole plant with little baby ones too though. I'm looking at a 6ft plant on there too but it's not that ivy one. Can't remember which one it is rofl.
*doesn't look at the other links* I do NOT need more plants.. I don't!!! lol (I don't need the 6ft one but I really like it rofl)

Copy cat! Rofl. I have those last leaves *Points to small tub pic on previous page* lol Haha I'm just kidding. They're really nice leaves though, pretty bendy too. I have them on the roof in one tank as well as on the sides. The others look great too ;D They're all very pretty. *Even more tempted to buy some more stuff now* Noooo lol

Yeah, I must admit, I pinched the fern leaves idea - because they look so good in yours I also bought a water dish for my big margies, for when their new tank arrives - all in all, tanks and furnishings have come to about £50. They'd better bloomin' like it! ;D *lol*

Lol ;D Are my tanks -that- stylish? *Wont go all Lawrence lowellwhatever and mess them up then* Rofl I changed me margie & two-tone one a bit the other night, there's no moss tub or grey bowl now, but they have the same tub as in the iredalei and smithii tank (takeaway thing, sturdier than the blue tub and clearish) and it's got water in it lol. It's just to see if they will use a bigger pool. It has smooth gravel in the bottom to try and stop them knocking it rofl. Oh and I threw a load more moss in to make up for no moss tub.

If yours don't knock those plants off I will be VERY annoyed. You've seen my duct tape plant holder haven't you? lol
Even the babies knocked it off so I had to use contact adhesive and then duct tape over the top just to make sure it stays!!
Grrrrrr lol

Mine have never knocked it off *lol* The other bodged up aquarium plant that I had in the fulica/baby margie/dimi tank (now replaced by two tanks) though was a different matter. Sally and Gary like to sleep hanging off the underneath of the leaves Cant blame them though, it was held on by threading two strands of the plant into two suckers I'd nicked off hubby's fish tank filter...

Stick it on the back or side with some sellotape, on the outside of the tank. Some folks say to drill holes through the plastic box where the heatmat will be to let the heat through more easily, but I never bothered and it worked ok It didn't melt as it didn't get that hot - but I now know that I should have put a polystyrene tile on the back of the heat mat (so it would be tank wall, heat mat, then tile on the outside) so that heat doesn't escape from the outside of the mat. If you get me. I'm useless with instructions/directions *cringe* ;D
