What's that site again?

[Mary E. Hill]

You guys posted a plant site that was really affordable and informative and
I can't remember it or find it on Google now.

I bought some kind of floating plant and after a day and a half, it
disappeared. My guess is that my snails ate it. They are big ones - their
shells are like 2.5" diameter (big to me anyway!).

I wanted to buy hornwort but the girl at the chain store didn't know about
that in particular, but did have a floating plant that was easy to care for
and cheap - she never did name it...

Anyway, I'd like to learn more about plants from a good site and maybe one I
can buy some at without killer shipping costs - anyone know of any?
Hopefully, I can find something that won't disappear.

Thanks a bunch :)

Mary

BTW, does everyone's snails skydive? Mine jump from the glass at the top,
spread themselves out and float/crash down to the bottom all the time. I
assume they like it!

I had snails in a 20 gallon tank I used to keep (and ask questions about
all the time ::-). They did all sorts of crazy stuff like that,
especially as they got older. They would climb in front of the filter
current and have their shells pushed back and forth, bail off the top
like yours, climb over one another like a little snail race or
something. Heh, they were cool as anything!

I don't know what site you are looking for, but if you have apple snails or
other large snails then plants are out of the question unless you are
getting them only for food for the snails.

Here are a couple of good sites.

Thanks, all, for the links! And I really didn't know they ate plants :) I
knew about algae, but...I can be a little shortsighted ;)

I don't think the true Apple snail (Pomacea bridgesii ) eat plants. I have
one, in a heavy planted tank, and it's not touching the plants.
http://www.applesnail.net/ is a good place for info on Apple snails

Get the right species of apple snail and it DOESN'T eat plants. At
all. See http://www.applesnail.net
