Zoo Med does not publish a fin-safety rating for this range. It is rigid moulded plastic rather than soft silk, so owners of long-finned betta varieties should run a fingertip check over the leaf edges before adding it to the tank, the same check worth doing with any hard plastic decor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovered by Zoo Med's standard warranty against manufacturing defects, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
