Well my LFS is just horrible, it has good fish and equipment, but there are hardly any plants there.

I really want my tank to look good, but it is really hard since i cant research and then just get the plants i want since my LFS mostlikely does not have it.

So are there any sites you guys would like to recommend to me?

Well,
would help to know what country you are
in?

Some good sites for USA
www.azgardens.com
www.aquariumfish.net
www.floridadriftwood.com
www.aquabotanic.com

In canada, there is only 1 really good
online plant store:

www.ottawaaquatics.com

It certainly would help if we knew where you lived Country.

In you profile it has a spot you can fill in to get your country flag.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

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

Lol, sorry about that.

Im in the US. Thanks for the links

I've bought plants from several places, and www.aquariumplant.com has been my favorite. Their plants are very healthy and the bunch plants come with more stems per bunch than other sites I've tried, and their selection is fantastic. Their prices are also reasonable, as are their shipping rates. Even with Priority mail, my plants have arrived healthy and looking great. As with any aquatic plant, you still have to watch out for snail eggs if that's not something you want in your tank, but their plants never have any trace of algae.

Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

Here's my favorite! http://www.aquariumgarden.com/index.php

Thanks for all of the links again. I checked out the sites and the shipping cost is killing me >_<

Im going to check how good i can do with just the LFS' plants, if its just not possible, Ill order online.

Thanks a lot guys

Hi there,
perhaps you should consider
trading/buying off other hobbyists
instead?
The costs these companies charge for shipping
is far beyond what it would cost a hobbyist
to ship plants personally.
I have found shipping plants can run from 6.00 to
25.00, depending the quantity and packaging.
Boxes are most expensive, bubble envelopes the cheapest.
Having mailed plants via postal services over 5000KM
and having them arrive A-OK, I can say give it a try,
you may be much much happier.

So_Very_Sneaky is right, shipping costs are a pain. Priority mail is usually not garunteed, but I've never had a problem with it. Someitmes getting plants from aqiarium hobby societies or places like Aquabid and/or Ebay is cheaper. Sometimes it's not, and you run into the risk of dealing with private individuals rather than companies, so the quality of the plants can be more iffy.

Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

Are there any online stores in Aus for plants?
