I migrated to Perth a year ago and I am now trying to put together all the bits I need to start a planted tank. I sure could use some local advise on where to get plants. Most of the LHS have a very limited range.

CO2 is the other problem as the gas supplier will not fill my tank, They will only supply if I rent their tank at $10 a month! Gas fills are extra!

Hi Guys thanks for the responses.

Grae Thanks for the link! Sign up and waiting for the OK from the moderator.

Your tank looks great. How many planted tanks do you have? I can't wait to get mine going.

Finally found someone that will fill my own CO2 tank, only problem is that it is all the way down in Canning Vale.

Now the only problem will be getting plants. Does anyone have apons?

Cheers

Alfred

Hi Alfred
Once you are into the forum, plants are not really a problem, lots of
cuttings being passed along.Thanks for the kind words too. I am north of the
river, how about you?

Something to keep in mind is that many commercial sources won't send
plants to WA due to WAQIS's quarantine requirements (those rubber
stamps aren't cheap :-)). You might want to check whether Aquamail will
send plants before you order.

As Aquaria Australia Warehouse (aquaria.com.au) are in WA, ordering
form them should be no problem. FWIW I've used both Aquamail and AAW
several times and would recommend them both. I found AAW's customer
service particularly good.

Thank for that info, I am sure it will be useful.
