Abstract:
An artificial aquatic plant system for displaying a simulated plant in juxtaposition with a surface of an altitudinal wall of an aquarium, the altitudinal wall having an altitudinally upper edge and an altitudinally lower basal portion, the aquarium having a bottom adjacent the basal portion, the artificial aquatic plant system comprising:an artificial aquatic plant having a length extending between opposite ends; a retainer for placement adjacent the upper edge of the altitudinal wall of the aquarium, the retainer having a mounting element for mounting the retainer adjacent the upper edge of the altitudinal wall and a first coupling element integral with the mounting element for coupling one of the opposite ends of the artificial aquatic plant to the mounting element; and an anchor for placement adjacent the basal portion of the altitudinal wall, the anchor having a second coupling element for coupling the other of the opposite ends of the artificial aquatic plant to the anchor such that upon placement of the retainer adjacent the upper edge, placement of the anchor adjacent the basal portion, and coupling of the opposite ends of the artificial aquatic plant at the respective first and second coupling elements, the length of the artificial aquatic plant is extended in juxtaposition with the altitudinal wall between the retainer and the anchor, and the artificial aquatic plant is displayed in an array juxtaposed with the surface of the altitudinal wall of the aquarium.
