Safe online plant purchasing. | |
DonkeyFieldMouse Small Fry Posts: 11 Kudos: 10 Votes: 0 Registered: 21-Mar-2009 | Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys know of any safe, secure, reliable and (possibly) internationnal site that sells plants. I have tried many of the big sites, like Tropica, Doctors (foster&Smith), Aquarium plants, etc... The problem is that, because I live in Canada, they either cost way to much, or simply don't ship. I understand that Tropica sells plants but you need the catalogue first, which is of little interest to me. The only pet shops near me are Big Al's and Petsmart. Big Al's is the only specialised one, which has a good, but limited, plant selection. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

If you are going to order from them DO READ their information for first time buyers. If you do and you follow their directions, it will be a very fine experience. I always wait until they have processed and shipped their week's orders and the dust settles, then I call them. Think ahead of time of what you want to do with your tank(s), know the size of the tank, know what you have for substrate (regular aquarium gravel or some other type (Flourite, ADA Soil, etc) know the total wattages of your bulbs, what kind of bulbs they are, and how many watts per gallon light you have. Know if you are going to use injected CO2, and know your water chemistry, pH GH KH. Then call them and discuss your dreams for the tank.
