ABSTRACT:
An artificial aquarium plant which includes an anchor in the shape of a narrow, elongated trough having a generally V-shaped cross section. The ends of the anchor are diverging downwardly to form scoops at the opposing ends. Transverse connecting walls define storage cells therebetween to receive the anchoring material, such as sand, for retaining the anchor at the bottom of an aquarium tank. A hollow tubular post provided in the anchor includes a restraining shoulder in its hollow portion. The plant member includes a bifurcated stem which can be inserted into the hollow post, and a ledge or lip section on the stem which engages the restraining shoulder to prevent removal of the plant member from the anchor. A package is designed to retain the artificial aquarium plant where the anchor acts in such a manner as to avoid crushing of the plant member.
