Stainless steel construction Curved for easy planting Great for placing small plants Planting tweezers often make planting small stems and other plants easier than using your hands. They allow you to get plants deeper into the substrate so plants can absorb nutrients and form a strong root structure. These particular tweezers are curved at the end to get plants into even the smallest spaces and for more control while planting at an angle. This is especially useful if you have a deep tank. These tweezers are 10.5 inches long and are shipped in a plastic sleeve. To clean the tweezers after usage, simply rinse with clean water while making sure not to use any soap or other cleaning chemicals that may potentially harm your aquarium fish. Wipe them dry afterwards. Complete your collection of Aquarium Co-Op products with these tweezers featuring our logo right on the side of the handle. We like using them with our curved scissors for easy pruning and a nice catch cup that can hang on the side of the aquarium to hold any plant trimmings. And don't forget to keep your handy Aquarium Co-Op towel nearby to prevent water from dripping off your tweezers onto the ground.
