Hi there, this is my first post.

I was sent a link to this page by a guy on trademe who sells aquarium plants but could not help me with what I wanted.

Here is the original question that I asked him.....

Hi there, do you have or have access to Aponogeton madagascariensis? I

believe it is called Madagascar fern and may have been called Aponogeton

fenestralis or Lace-leafed plant.

I am keen to buy some, I understand it is in NZ but tricky to come by.

Cheers.

Please, oh great learned ones...rescue me.

Welcome Oscarfan. Hope someone can help you. Warren has some I think. Don't you Warren?

Who was on Trademe? Paul here deals in plants.

Sounds promising, how do I get in contact with Warren?

This is the website of the guy on trademe.

That's Paul Parsons. I've seen some ads lately on TRADEME.

I've never seen the plant in NZ. See:

Thanks Andrew.

Doesn't look hopeful.

However, Brian at the Goldfish Bowl here in Hamilton reckons that he knew a guy that had some a few years ago and could never get him to part with any.

I thought it might have been Paul at Trademe. I would guess if he doesn't know where to get them in NZ then nobody does! The plant name was ringing a bell and I thought Warren said he had one but obviously I was wrong.

Hi there Ocar... Glad you found the fishrrom.

A warm welcome to you.

I too was looking for the same plants some time ago, or what I commonly called the "Madagascaa Lace" plant, but had no succsses. A chap in the States said he could help, but due to import restrictions... it didn't happen.

Regards,

It's actually Pauls wife Debbe on Trademe.

I won todays auction and she has been extremly helpful.

Paul is too busy, but is helping her with answers.

I'm really looking forward to getting the load of plants I bought today, to plant out my new aquarium.

kerry how much does it cost u for them to post them to u??

thanks

I don't have any Madagasariensis. I've been trying to get it on and off for 5-6 years now. So far everyone who has promised to get it for me has been a slacker. I can't believe that not one has come up with the goods!

Good luck finding some. If you ever have any real success getting one, let me know cause I sure want some.
