I'm in the process of buying plants right now, need help - Aquarium Advice

Raimeiken · 02-02-2004, 05:51 PM

I got it all planned out [finally] on how i'm going to set up the tank. Anyway i went to these online stores to look for the best prices and to see who had the most plants that i wanted to buy:

http://www.aquabotanic.com
http://aquariumplant.com
www.aquariumgarden.com
www.azgardens.com

Heres the list of plants i'm buying

Dwarf sag
Hemianthus micranthemoides
bacopa caroliniana
Java fern
rotala indica
Limnophila sessiliflora or asian ambulia
Limnophila aquatica*
Hygrophila difformis
Cabomba Carolinia
Lobelia cardinalis

So heres what i found on each site

AZGARDEN

Limnophila sessiliflora $1.58
Cabomba caroliniana $1.58
Hygrophila difformis $1.58
java fern $2.98
Rotala indica $.98
Lobelia cardinalis $3.98

AQUARIUMPLANT

java fern $2.99

Bacopa caroliniana $1.99
Rotala Indica $2.75

Cabomba Carolinia $2.50

Obviously Aquariumplant.com has all of the plants I need except for one which i didn't find in all 4 sites Limnophila aquatica [if anyone know where i can buy this tell me]

Aquariumplant.com also has great prices. I don't know if this is a great site to buy from, i haven't heard any good or bad reviews about it unlike azgardens. I was gonna buy from azgardens but they have few selections

Should i buy plants from aquariumplant.com ? or are there any other great sites where i can buy plants from?

Oh yeah and can anyone suggest me a great stem/bunched plant that's easy to care, not high lighted ones.

Some low light (2WPG) stem plants are:Water Hyssop, Brazilian waterweed, Hygrophila corymbosa, Hygrophila polysperma, Water primrose and Hornwort (1WPG). These all have different care requirements. So read up!

I just found this website that has practicallly every aquarium plant

http://www.pets-warehouse.com/AquariumPlants.htm#A

I don't understand it though. Most of the plants they're selling says 12 = $6.88
does that mean, 12 stems or 12 bunches? If it's 12 stems the price is pretty high, but if it's 12 bunches, **** that's a great deal!

Hmm..... you might want to do a web search on that domain and see what you turn up. It might surprise you.

Or check out http://www.petswarehouse.com/ or http://www.thedefensefund.com/

and be aware that it's the same guy.

Raimeiken · 02-02-2004, 11:13 PM

WOAH! thanks for telling me that...... well i wasn't gonna buy from that site anyway, their shipping is too expensive.
