Hello, i am just making up this post to see what types of these species are available in your area, also because i will be filling my new tank up with them exept for a little bit of ancharis. I am pretty impressed in the amount of anubias types my area gets in but am saddened by the types of microsorum plants we get in. Heres the list-
Microsorum-
1-Microsorum Pteropus
2-Microsorum Pteropus v. Windelov
Anubias-
1-Anubias coffefolia
2-Anubias congensis
3-Anubias afzelli
4-Anubias barteri var. Barteri
5-Anubias Barteri var. caladiifolia
6-Anubias barteri var. nana(petite)
7-some other type that is very tall that i dont know its name
At a final note-I would really love to acquire a few Microsorum Pteropus"phillipine", does anyone havethese or know where to get a hold of some. How much do the cost on average. Hers the link to the plant- http://www.tropica.com/default.asp

"species are available in your area"

This does not apply to me as I am in OZ I suggest you tell us your "area" so tht you migh get a reply.

I could tell what I can get possibly a large variety as I do know a plant grower. I have lost contact recently, but I still see his stock around.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Good question! I live near Philly, and I've seen A. nana once (and bought it), and A. frazeri once (got it too). Petsmart carries regular Java fern, but it hasn't done well for me (go figure). I'm sure you could find many varieties on the web, but locally, most plants I see are unnamed swords, some anacharis, and not much else.
