Have Questions About biOrb Plants?
We have answers. Get quick help for common questions.
Are biOrb plants suitable for all biOrb aquarium models?
Yes, biOrb plants are designed to be fully compatible with all biOrb models, including CLASSIC, LIFE, FLOW, TUBE, and HALO. They are sized to fit comfortably around the central bubble tube without disrupting the filtration system or water flow.
Do biOrb plants need any special care or maintenance?
biOrb artificial plants are virtually maintenance-free. Simply rinse them in tank-safe water when cleaning your aquarium to remove debris or algae. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, especially in acrylic tanks.
Are biOrb plants safe for fish?
Yes, biOrb plants are designed with smooth, flexible textures to ensure they’re safe for delicate fish fins. They are ideal for peaceful freshwater species like tetras, guppies, shrimp, and corydoras.
Do biOrb plants help with algae control?
While artificial plants don’t directly reduce algae, they offer visual cover and enrichment that can lower fish stress—a common cause of water imbalance. For natural algae control, consider adding live moss balls or algae-eating species alongside your biOrb décor.
Where can I buy official biOrb plants?
You can find the full range of official biOrb aquarium plants at Charterhouse Aquatics. We offer fast UK delivery and expert support to help you choose the right setup for your tank.
Can I mix biOrb artificial plants with live plants?
Absolutely. Many aquarists use a combination of biOrb artificial plants and a few hardy live plants like Java Fern or Anubias. This creates a more natural look while keeping maintenance low. Just ensure live plants are placed in a way that doesn’t obstruct the air-driven filtration.
What materials are biOrb plants made from?
biOrb plants are made from fish-safe, non-toxic materials like silicone and soft plastics. They’re weighted at the base for secure placement and built to resist fading over time, even under LED aquarium lighting.
How do I choose the right biOrb plant set for my tank?
Start by selecting based on your biOrb model’s size and shape. biOrb plant packs are often labeled by height (small, medium, tall) to help create a layered, natural look. For maximum effect, combine base plants, center ornaments, and themed color accents.
Can I use third-party artificial plants in my biOrb?
It’s possible, but not recommended. Non-biorb plants may be too tall, too heavy, or made of materials that scratch the acrylic tank or disrupt the filtration. Official biOrb plants are specifically designed for proper fit, balance, and water flow.
