SAFFABOY Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Hey guys, I'm looking for someone who grows aquaria plants for sale.I'm in the chch area. I DONT WANT THE NAMES OF LOCAL PET STORES. I'm looking for home growers who sell to the public.Wanting to pick up some plants at a reasonable price.Pet stores are pricey when looking to plant a whole new tank. Also looking for people breeding the following: neons rummy nose tetra's discus synadontis cats (spelling) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Try a local plant shop, they should have some plants that will grow underwater, Niloc just bought some from LFS and found out he could have bought 3 times as many of exactly the same plant for the same price from a plant shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Yes sometimes LFS don't have great plants but then again they are only cuttings and will only look good when they are given a chacne to get a foot hold. If your looking for different plants try Redwood. Ask what they have out the back. Last time I was there the tanks infront of the counter had some plants that I hadn't seen b4. Large leafed sword type plant but on stem not just a crown plant and there was another that the women said producers lots of vines that the fish swim in and out of. One day I'm going to get the second one so I can plant it in my tall Discus tank i think it would really start to give that natural look. If it's for Discus check what the plant requires as my Vallis in this tank aren't great due to requireing a higher than Discus would like Hardness.

BK Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Redwood do have some interesting plants that I haven't seen any where else and these also a guy on trade me. I have better luke with fish, my plants always look beer at the bottom or start rotting in the centre and thats when the Pleco's not ripping them out.
