packaging and delivery are so-so... also heavy use of questionable ferts.

Check your local aquarium club first. Better quality and delivery.

You can get even better prices in the "Swap-and-Shop" section of plantedtank.net's forums. You have to be a member to view the forum, though.

I have has a few experiences with that company. Order once if you like. Just to test the "waters", but I can assure you that you can get better quality locally.


Another tip is they grow most of their plants emersive. You can tell by the substrate attached to the root structure. The plants themselves are good. Some may get crushed during transit. Some will not take to the aquarium... it is really a gamble with this company. I have had about a 50% success rate. Some of the stuff I ordered ended up being pesto in a bag and other stuff did very well.

Go local and you can't really go wrong.
+1 to LGP's planted tank suggestion. HUGE group.. that or APC (aquatic plant central). Try different things see what works and what doesn't work...

Ok cool thanks. I will definitely take a look. Yeah it sucks that I only have 2 LFS with a decent selection other than the half dozen Petsmarts and Walmarts around here.
