ok, so i have these 2 plants, they have a plastic base they is like a tray kinda and they r connected together. ! = plant

\_!_/-\!_!/-\_!_/ u get the idea, and i have 2 of these. i had they one the bottom held down by rocks, but of coarse that means myrtle has to push the rocks around and make as much noise as turtlely possible :roll:
so my question is how do i keep these down on a bare bottom tank?

You could silicone the plant onto the bottom, or you could attach a suction cup (or a few suction cups maybe for your plant) onto the base of the plant. Just be aware, my turtles' favourite pastime is to unsuction any plants suctioned to the bottom :P

I silicone a flat rock to the bottom of the plastic base to keep a plant anchored. Some plants come with weighted bases.
