Default Aquatic Plants in the UK

(Big Smile) - just went to the Enfield branch of Maidenhead Aquatics
yesterday and stocked my tank (plants not fish)! I couldn't get even
half of my first choice plants, but I got some other beauties. It
looks wonderful, if a little cloudy from the Aquasoil. I am really
pleased with it. The plants looks really healthy too. Dave, the
manager, did offer to do a special order for me when I spoke to him
over the phone but I decided against it in the end because it's quite a
trek for me to get down to them and I didn't want to have to do the
journey again for a while. My biggest change of plan was my choice of
carpetting plant. I was looking for Glossostigma elantinoides or
Hemianthus callitrichoides but they had nothing like that. They did
have a good number of Amazon microsword's - Lilaeopsis which I used.
Each pot had loads of plant in it and I was able to plant the whole
floor with 5 pots by teasing it out into small clumps and spreading
them around.

When I get around to uploading them I'll post up a link to some photo's
I took of it.

Thanks for your help!
