5000+ posts and you are small fry with ketchup!!!

Hmmm....

Well, I dont suppose that means you are going to have tips about any closer LFS to me!!! There is a good one a bit away from me (in Irish terms....you Americans would drive there no bother! )but I tend to use a closer one that is just a pet store as its more convenient.....only sells semi-aquatic plants tho'....

Like your website....its interesting!

Small fry with ketchup is a play on words...here in the states what you call chips that you get with fish we call them frys....so a small fry with ketchup. It's supposed to be somewhat of a joke ....although maybe people just dont get it *reminds self again to quit with the jokes.
I have so many posts that I was allowed to select my own username....I'd have had a few hundred more if I didnt go deleting posts way back when just to intentionally lower my postcount ....

Yep, I'm Irish but living in Indonesia not Thailand (I wish !).Dubliner- yep I'm a a jackeen Just got back from there last night actually.

There was another Irish member but he hasn't been around much.

The only shop I know of is Dublin Pet Stores in Capel Street. Lousy plant selction though, but I think they will order for you if you ask.

There's a big place just outside Blessington, don't know what their plant selection is like but have a good range of fish.

Don't know if the phone book will help. I found a planted tank specialist in the Golden Pages but when I went to the address couldn't find the place ! Found the address but it was a paint shop ??!!

Where are you in Ireland ? Suspect your best bet may be one of the UK online retailers for plants. Birstalls is good, they get their plants direct from Tropica so quality is guaranteed.

Ireland's not that small ! It would help if you mentioned where you were actually playing
