Watch @ 2:40-4:13

The video is from AquaPros in Hawaii, at an aquascape shop I think. Published less than a week ago.

Looks like fake plants inside lol

Nice. It looks fake but should be real... for a store like this.

Just looks kinda fake to me. Not sure though. If it was a live plant, I would be curious what it was.

Search for their facebook page (Aquascapes808) and look under their pictures. They used to hold Opae Ula Workshops and it looks to be geared towards young kids. So fake plants are very likely in their display tank.

Got the info:
The plants in the opae ula jar are plastic plants. Haven’t found any plants that works well in brackish water.

You were right :smile:

Yeah, if only it was a real plant. When researching freshwater shrimps, so many breeders use live plants and I envy them. I used to love planted tanks and I guess that desire mixes with my love of the opae ula. I have to keep reminding myself about where the opae ula come from and to be satisfied.
