i started getting some fake plants from michaels and they are awesome. i just buy suction cups and attach them to the bottom of the plants. i attach em to the sides of the tank as well for resting/sleeping areas. they work great! is it ok to use these plants?

I would just worry that your turtle might chew on them and expose the wiring that some of them have inside. But if you didn't get the kind with the wire of your turts care less about the fake plants then I say go for it!

that's all i've got in my tank, and yes they're great--way cheaper than at the pet store too....i've had patsy bite at a couple of pieces of fake grass a few times, like a bite and then i think she realized how gross it was....i just have to reposition periodically to keep them above water surface (i don't use them below cause everything i found was fabric)....
