Keep your freshwater aquarium plants anchored and in place with our flexible plant weights!
Aquarium Lead Weights (covered with aquarium safe alloy)
Lead plant weights are very useful for keeping various aquatic and semi-aquatic plants anchored down and in their place in the aquarium. Many will otherwise float if uprooted. Some stem plants do not have significant root structures and will benefit from being bunched together with these flexible weights. Lead plant weights are very flexible and will not alter water chemistry in the freshwater aquarium,but should not be used in brackish and saltwater aquariums.
Each flexible weight is approximately 2 inches (5 cm) in length.

The weights hold my stem plants firmly without damaging the roots. They’re flexible and easy to attach. My anubias and java ferns stay in place now, no more floating.
Connor Martin –
Works well for keeping plants from drifting. The alloy coating is smooth and doesn’t scratch the substrate. A small improvement would be more variety in weight sizes.
Jessica Paige –
Great for beginners. My first aquarium had many floating plants, and these weights solved the problem quickly. Simple to use and reliable.
Trevor MacLeod –
They work, but I found some of them broke after a few weeks. Maybe the flexibility is not durable long-term. Still useful for occasional use.
