Everything pictured below is available now and can ship as soon as Monday. Yes, I will pull plants out of the 120 to send you! Pics are all from today.

If you live somewhere cold, I will styro the inside of your shipping box so your plants don't arrive frozen. I also have plenty of heat packs available if you would like to combine fish/inverts and plants in the same box! Please PM with your zip code for a shipping quote. I accept Paypal. If you're under 18, you will need your parents' permission before ordering. Snails are likely- if this is a problem for you, please plan to employ your chosen method of eradication. Thanks for looking!

If you have any questions or want to see another pic of something, just let me know.

*edit* I added text on all the pics in Photobucket, but for some reason some of the text isn't showing up here. So, I'm just going to add the info to each pic in the thread also.

What plants that you have are good for a 30 inch dual T5 fixture?
 
How much would shipping be to 50023? Also I realize that you can't ship fish or inverts to me in the colder seasons because the heat pack won't last long enough. Is it the same for plants, or can they be without that much heat for a few hours?
 
Which of these plants do best in a medium lighted tank? I'm tryign my hand at plants :)
I think just about anything listed should work. The crypts and swords are heavy root feeders and you should use root tabs with them.

Ok, assuming this is a 20L or 29, I would think just about anything on the list would be fine. Root tabs for swords and crypts. I cannot estimate a shipping cost to you without knowing what you like- I have several sizes of boxes and need to estimate a box size and weight. Thanks! Plants do not need to stay all warm and toasty, so I would just styro the box and send them along. The heat packs weigh almost half a pound so this makes plants a good bit cheaper to ship than fish.
 
Which plants would do good in a 2inch sand substrate? I have the following fish that like to nip my prior plants:

2 red wag platy
2 Mickey mouse platy
1 sun burst platy
2 kribensis

Also do you have any mts that might come with the plants?

It depends on your lighting, etc... I have never had platies or kribs tear up plants, is is possible you have a lighting or nutrient deficiency that is to blame?

I do have some MTS, I can send a bag of 10-15 along with purchase.

It could be possible in terms of poor lighting, i have a 48 inch tank with two all glass strips fluorescent lights. also the height of the tank is nearly 18-20 inches.

Also I feed my fish 5 times a week to prevent any ammonia spike.
 
Order and quote

Hi:
I would like to see if you can accomodate an order of plants for me... I will send you a PM with the details.

Thanks

Probably 5 plants... I am not sure what kind. I am very interested in your plants, especially the floating ones. I can't order until early next year (a few days after new years day) so could you hold some of the floating ones? I love them. :) I am glad that you can ship plants without heating pack. I hate winter for that reason. How often do you get new plants in?

Can I ask what mts (besides multiple tabk syndrome) means?
 
I realize this was posted a while ago - what plants do you still have left that would work well in low light & how much would it cost to ship some to 30093? I was to moderately plant my 16 gal bowfront, but I'm not very experienced with plants, so I'm not sure how many that would take...
