	price of swords?
Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	There's only one lfs I like to buy plants from, and their Amazon swords were $5.99 So I ordered mine online, 8 medium and 1 small, total of $31 with shipping. I got the order today and the plants are big, the smallest is 13" excluding roots. As a bonus one of them has four babies. I'm attaching a pic, just wondering if this was a good deal or not.

I just went back to their website and checked under 'swords'. It shows Small 6" to 8"; Medium 8" to 10"; Large 10" to 12"; X-Large 12" to 15". Mine were supposed to be mediums and one small I'm not complaining, they'll fit in the tank. I guess that would be a problem for someone ordering for a smaller tank though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

guppy01 Big Fish Posts: 334 Kudos: 387 Votes: 3 Registered: 06-Sep-2003	I have a feeling they are emerse grown, therefore may lose most of their 'emerse' leaves and grow smaller submersed leaves. This is what happeed to me once; I bought a huge green amazon sword from the LFS for $10. One week in my tank and most of those huge green leaves began rotting and the plant took on its submersed form - the submerse form was a red leafed sword! Looks totally different from when I bought it. Either way it's a great deal, have fun!

sly Big Fish Posts: 377 Kudos: 251 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Jun-2004	Are Amazon swords difficult to keep? Will it grow in a 1.33WPG tank? There's an online store near me that only cost $1.99 for one! http://www.aquariumgarden.com/index.php?doc_base=plant_info.php&plantid=sw034 [span class="edited"][Edited by sly 2004-07-11 16:25][/span]
