Any one interested in some hornwort? Mine is growing back strong and I will
soon either have to throw it into the compost pit or sell it to some one. If
anyone wants any and doesn't mind totally reimbursing me i can send some to
you./them. Good luck and later!

==================
That's very kind of you Daniel. I found one small piece still alive in one
of my 10g tanks. I'm hoping mine makes a comeback. :-))

open of course - any takers? Good luck and later!

I'd love some, but I presume you're on the other side of that big ol'
pond? I gave up trying to get hold of hornwort in the UK over a year
ago. I've only ever seen pictures of it!

Although possible, I guess through being sneaky, I would really advise
against importing stuff into the UK without a licence or correct
documentation...something way beyond a friendly plant swop on the net....

If you like, I'll check out the places that I go to and see if we can do
some sort of a swop if I ever find it....one LFS is quite tame and will
order stuff in for me if I ask (and he can get it)

Unfortunately for the deal I do live on the other side of the pond. :-( I
live on the west coast of the USA (aargh - sorry about that!). I might try
selling on aquabid.com sometime though. Hornwort can be a great plant, I
just wish I could grow it good in 2 of my other tanks - it just won't grow
in them at all. Good luck and later!

Right on! I just wish I knew what characteristic(s) my other tanks differ
with when compared to my silver dollar tank which grows hornwort like crazy!
Good luck and later!

my tank has a little low ph..like 6.8 i think last i checked...and its
hard water with alot of iron in it...my tank is WAY underlit for the
amount of plants i have in it...im just waiting for my dad to make me a
nice wooden hood so i can put some more lights in it. right now i just
have a single bulb light strip and an all glass top.

the tank does however get alot of natual lighting. its all livebearers
and a couple of corydoras and soon to be a couple of neons my red sword
is doing ok....but the hornwort is taking over my tank....i used that
4ft crop to put into a 5 gallon hex hospital tank to cycle it.

i started with 2 pretty thin plants and now it took over pretty much a
1/4 of my tank. i need to thin it some more and re-root it

Sure. But I have never seen it sold in any of the chains, though.
Strange. One strand would be suffient. I've got water sprite and java
fern growing out of control in my tanks at the moment. It's be nice to
see something different that could compete.

I would see if your community has Local Aquarium Society or club and see if
you can trade it , sell it or give it away

I have a small tank with low pH value of 6.8. I feel like the last time I checked ... and There are many hard water iron bar, my tank is as far under lit The amount of plants I have in this ... I'm just waiting for my dad for me Beautiful wood cabinet so I can put some more light it. Now I just a band of light bulbs and all-glass roof.
