Aquarium Advice Addict
Its been a while since I visited AA as I haven't had the time for the tank due to the son. However, he's old enough to start taking an interest in things and one of them is the fish tank.
Othe than the occassional trimming and cleaning the tank hasn't had much work done to it in the last couple of years. The algea stayed controlled due to bunched plants growing out of control every few months. Surprisingly, I had an anubia actually flower during the time and haven't lost a plant that survived the initial planting.
I lost my canister two weeks ago so having to put money into the tank, I decided it was time to take back control.
My biggest question is where are all of you betting plants online? I have aquariumplant.com bookmarked but am not sure that's where I placed my original order. I've read a couple recent bad comments from them and while most of my plants were ok when I received them, several were not in the healthiest condition. As I recall those are the ones that did not survive the original planting.
The local fish store has a faily nice inventory of plants, but the standard swords, etc. I have a South American tank going and would like to keep it true to theme.
I'm looking for some additional anubias. I have a miniature one that I like rather well and a couple more grouped in a planting is what I'm after for one section.
If anyone has a recommendation for an online retailer or a tall plant (SA) to hide the mechanics, I'd love to read them.
