Where to buy plants
Can anyone tell me where I can buy good quality plants. I know there are
several sites but lost the internet addresses. I recently bought some from a company and they were not as nice as the ones I used to buy. Thanks Dan |

Thanks Dan I get my plants from http://www.thatpetplace.com but be forewarned - the bunched plants (the fancy stuff arrives in pristine condition for the most part) often arrive in a big bunch, not separated or weighted. Good luck and later! |

Good luck and later! I don't pay for my plants anymore. I just scoop them up from a nearby lake and keep the extras in a bucket out in the sun with a little Miracle Gro and aquarium fertilizer until needed. The varieties from there aren't that fancy looking, but they're extremely hardy. - Logic316 "Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence." -- Ronald Reagan |

Where are you at? There are plenty of planted tank groups similar to:
http://www.sfbaaps.com/ Most can fill a huge aquarium for anyone starting up. Bob "Dan" wrote in message ... Can anyone tell me where I can buy good quality plants.

I think I did that before - except for hornwort there aren't many aquatic plants around here, especially not high temperature plants. Interesting post by you - anyone who wants to do it can just dig in but might want to be careful (soaking the fresh plants in a permanganate potash/water solution for a few minutes or so first (off of the top of my head), to prevent bugs from getting into their tank (predators, etc.).

I got some very nice plants from there as well. I had a bit of trouble because they were out of a plant I ordered and held my order without telling me. A phone call straightened it out and they sent a few extra plants to make up for the delay. -- Elaine T __ http://eethomp.com/fish.html '__ rec.aquaria.* FAQ http://faq.thekrib.com |
