ok sorry if your hopes were up but its better to not spend the added money on the shipping and whatnot if you dont need to you know? its a far amount (just assuming it'd probably be double?) to have it shipped to you rather than someday running into it at your LFS, in which case if you ever do you then its not such a big loss if you were to buy it and try it out ($5?)!! good luck

I'll still give you some if you still want it, but i wouldnt recommend this plant unless you have ATLEAST 2 WPG. I have just over that (2.13) & this plant was barely growing in that tank. I let it float so it'd be as close to the lights as possible, & in the tank it was growing in i was dosing with liquid fertilizers. I even had this plant in another one of my tanks that was actually getting an outstanding 4wpg & believe it or not it was dying in that tank, which is y i moved it around through tanks, hoping it'd come to in atleast one of them. In the tank with 4wpg i was not giving any fertilizers or co2.

like i said, if you still want, i'll still ship. Just some things for you to consider before you decide to blow any money on it. We will also have to discuss shipping options if you do decide you'd still like it

ok so it was alot quicker than expected. i ordered some plants online, so this pennywort will be getting trimmed down to size and i should have some available. Before i go through with shipping i was just wondering if you could tell me what type of lighting you are using for your fishtank? because it did take me quite awhile to get mine going! seems to be doing great now though!
