Hi,

i'm new (well, not spanking new, but just started a new tank). I borrowed
some tropical fish magazine from a friend, and was surprised to find many
mail-order plants and fish stores.

Are they any good? I intend to buy fish from LFS (we have several good ones
nearby). But was wondering what the experiences are with mail order plants
(java fern, amazon sword, etc). are they safe? any stores to avoid?

any insight would be appreciated.

I've placed two orders for a variety of plants from www.wetplants.com and
was completely satisfied both times.

I buy from Arizona Aquatic Gardens... http://www.azgardens.com

Depends on what you want...if its java fern..there are many people here who will
give it to you for just the cost of shipping.
