Hi there,

I've found a site for those interested in Aquarium plants. Many shops
sell bog
plants as aquatic plants. These plants don't do too well in aquariums
as they
are only completedly submerged in water for short periods of the year
in their
natually habitat. Have a look at http://www.trueaquariumplants.com/

I think my WEB site is better, but I may be a little biased! There is
actually no information to speak of on that WEB site, look at mine!

I grow crypts, but my Java ferns are ragged ;-)
Amazon sword out grew my 55, and I sell micro-chain to the LFS.

You *can't* grow crypts?!?!?!?!?!?! Mine are like weeds that need prunning
constantly. They're a nuisance... ;-)

I only have one Java Fern. It's kind of ugly with pups growing on every
other leaf. I'm going to use a few, but than I guess I'll just start
removing them as they appear.

What is your favorite aquarium plant? How is the selection of aquarium
plants for sale at your LFS?


My favorite aquatic plant is Java fern , it's nearly unkillable.


Ha, tell that to my goldfish, they eat them like there was no tomorrow...

Howdy,

For me, it's got to be anacharis. I love anything that grows like a
weed, and especially this plant. When I was a kid I could never grow
it (!) and now that I'm clueful it grows like mad. Most satisfying.

Runner up has to be the simple amazon sword, or maybe java moss.

Hey, I never said I am a connoisseur, did I? :)

As to the LFS, it's not actually that bad. Better than any place I've
seen, in fact, though I've never seen a place that's super-serious
about plants. The shop, New World Aquarium in Manhattan, usually has
about 10-15 varieties of plants, and they're not beyond hope when I
take them home. Most, in fact, are in decent shape all things
considered.

If you're in Manhattan, it's worth a peek. They're on 38th street
between 2nd and 3rd avenues. They also have sal****er stuff, and a
good selection of cichlids, but I never really look at either.
