I was wondering if it really matters to the fish whether you use fake plants.

Dear Bubble BOy,
I think it depends on the fish...For instance telescope, black moors goldfish have delicate eyes and one must be careful of sharp edges which plastic plants often have. Real plants and silk are softer. Goldies like to nibble so many plants are just salad to them--which they like to eat as fast as possible. For me, Java moss lasted one night!

lol true. I dont think most fish (there probably are some) care one way or the other. Like I dont think it will effect them health wise.I like plants mostly for filtration reasons, and even some algea here and there. The fish can totally tell, though. There arent bright neon pink sharp pointy leaves in nature that you cant eat.
