A week in the dark is asking a whooole lot of anything other than java ferns and anubias. The crypts should make it, the tenellus maybe, maybe the bacopa, maybe the vals. not sure about the rest, you're really pushing your luck.

Back in the saddle!

I fully agree where are you buying them from if they take that long? I would also be concerned by any temperature changes as they could very easly start to melt down unless they are in a styrene box. It could be a very costly way of buying plants. Do they also have to go through any customs if so this also could be very costly if they reject certain plants or treat them with any chemicals.

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.

Hi,
I would hold off on the purchase and allow a little more
"excess" money to accumulate in the household budget.
Pay for next day or 2 or 3 day delivery. Then you can
order the plants with a very good potential for healthy
plants on arrival. When shipped by air, plants and fish
can be left out on the taramac, or in a metal hanger for
hours at a time. In that case, they won't be worth much
of anything when you finally get them. Wherever you
are getting them from and shipped to you in Malta,
have them sent express, or next day, or whatever
fast service you have available to you.
