I buy often from Planted Tanks (http://plantedtanks.co.uk/), the service is good and the plants very cheap, even compared with most online retailers.
Yesterday I ordered some plants:
- E. Red Diamond 074D
- C. Thalicroides 005A
- Alternanthera Reineckii Pink 023
- E. Rose (HUGE!!!) 072B
- C. Wendtii Brown 109C
Got the plants this morning, and extremely happy with them.
The Echinodorus are not that big, but they are perfect for my tank, being at just under 20cm.
The Alternanthera Reineckii Pink is something to marvel at, being close to 50cm tall and very bushy. Almost a mother plant. This will be split in two tanks, too big for my main tank.
The C. Thalicroides 005A is another example of what a healthy plant looks like. I may put this emersed, use some cuttings for the main tank and emerse the rest.
The C. Wendtii Brown is surprisingly healthy. Tony told me that it looks poor, as it is a crypt massive changes in environment is not good, but the plant looks fine to me. Tony is too picky I think.
Now, got a surprise on the pack, my four Barclaya bulbs. Was not expecting them so soon. And to make it better, they have bright red leaves on them already.
Fantastic day, and another good service from Planted Tanks.
I strongly recommend Planted Tanks for your aquarium plant purchases, I do not believe that you will find a better shop online, and they will soon have a physical shop as well.
