I've got vallisneria tortifolia... or spiralis, I can't really tell, the two are almost the same. Tortifolia grows much shorter though. Mine has maxed out at about 18" so far. However, I think it could be spiralis; I have to wait and see if the leaves will grow any longer. The old leaves it had were thin and staight-ish when I first got it. After I planted it its new leaves and its runner's leaves are all heavily spiraled and thick. I can get some at my LFS for 99cents a plant and I can charge you for nothing but the shipping costs and reparations. *and taxes from the store.

I'll buy as many clumps as you want and then you just pay me the price of the plants/tax and shipping. I bought 3 plants and within 3 weeks in my T5HO lighted tank I got that.

Priority mail flat rate (2-3 days) is WAY cheaper.

Etunes- if you still need those Vals next week. Shoot me a PM. We're going to be getting in a bunch of plants.

Sure, we'll hold some for you for an extra week. We'll have both so just let me know how many and which to hold. Shipping is always flat rate USPS, in the smallest box they'll fit into. Sm- $5, Md- $11.

even if they dont fit in the small flat rate box you can still get a ton of plants in a box for under 1 pound. over the years there been very few plant orders i got that been over 1 pound. the flat boxes make it easy but not always the cheapest option.

True, but I like to ship with a decent amount of water vs. just wet paper towels. The plants seem to arrive healthier and need less adjustment time. Better to eat a little cost and deliver quality IMO.

The LFS was out of stock when I went today and my vals are sick with some deficiency right now so until I rectify it. It wouldn't be right of me to charge you guys for dying plants.

Go to Aqua Imports or Exotic Aquatics in Boulder. They usually have tons of jungle val for cheap.
