Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Just thought I'd share my recent experience here for those who are considering odering on line. Following is the order I placed (at http://www.aquariumplant.com ) and notes about each. (For the most part, I only wanted easy/fast growing plants)
2 @ $2.99each- Java Moss (Vesicularia Dubyana)(clump approx size of tennis ball, claim on website).
Was actually the size of a golf ball but still very nice!
12@$5.99- Sword, Broad Leaf Chain (Echinodorus quadricostatus)10 plants in order.
Beautiful plants with lots of healthy roots, better than I expected!
3@$1.69each- Wisteria (Hygrophila difformis)(potted)
The plants were large specimens with nice healthy roots however, they were packed sperate from all the others and should've been packed in water/moist wrap because the leaves wilted. I planted them anyway and am hoping they'll spring back and/or grow out new healthy leaves. I am going to suggest this to the company.
6@$1.09each- Anacharis (Egeria densa)(LARGE size 9"-11", about. 6 stems each)
These were extremely beautiful, vibrant and healthy but I should've only ordered 3 as this was way more than what I needed.
1@$4.90each- Dwarf Subulata (Sagittaria subulat) 1=10 Plants
These I did not receive, possibly an oversight.
2@$1.69each- Mexican Oak Leaf (Shinnersia rivularis)
At the time of shipment they were out of this but they did send a replacement plant but I'm not sure what they are. I would rather they just not send anything or give you an option of selecting a preferred replaced when ordering.
I placed my order on a Monday morning and selected the 2-3 day delivery option. The shipping costs were very reasonable at $8 and some change. On Friday I still hadn't received my order so i called the company. They were extremely nice and informed me they shipped it out Thursday morning. The reason for delay was because they were waiting for a new shipment of plants from Africa. That was fine with me but they could've just mentioned this in the order/shipping e-mail they sent out, but no big deal. Oh, and there were no snails on any of the plants although, I wouldn't have minded a few, lol!
In conclusion, I am quite happy with my experience with this company and fell certain that when i contact them monday morning about the missing item that we can resolve the oversight. If not, I'll let ya's know.
