Most of my plants are grown with Co2 injection and may take time to adjust to new conditions.
Snails are also present in my tanks, so treat accordingly.

Coming soon, SNAIL FREE range.
I have a snail free range in the works, whilst it won't offer the same variety as my other plants it will offer pest free plants to those of you who want to keep unwanted snails out of your tanks. These plants will be aqua cultured plants grown using an emersed setup keeping them both snail and algae free.

Bacopa monnieri



Ludwigia repens




water sprite



Chain sword



Subwassertang



Vals




Duckweed



Cherry shrimp


Fire red cherry shrimp



Snail free crypt wentiI green




Thanks for looking!

I can do that for you

 

How big is a subwassertang portion?

 

How big is a subwassertang portion?

About the size of a baseball when in aquarium.

 

what would a "node of Val" be,a whole single plant?

 

what would a "node of Val" be,a whole single plant?

Yep, a node is where the leaves sprout from, then they produce runners that creep along the substrate and create another node and so on.
Basically a single plant.

I will upload a pic of my main plant growing tank.

 

Few prices lowered and bumping this up.

 

What kind of snails do you have?

 

What kind of snails do you have?

Bladder, ramshorn and assassins.

 

Are you selling assassins too? I might take some fire red cherry shrimp.. Are you taking PayPal? And if I got the shrimp and some plants would shipping be more?

I don't have assassins for sale, if you were to buy shrimp and plants I should be able to get them in the same box, so you wouldn't need to pay extra shipping for the plants.
Payment is by PayPal yes.

 

Hello dan I am interested in the jungle val and bacopa if they are still available

Sure are, just PM me.

 

Update on a couple of pics

 

Pearl grass now available.
Water sprite price reduced due to the sheer amount of it and how fast it's growing.

 

Vals now available again.

 

Pics of Pearl grass, Java ferns and crypt?

 

I just got a 40g. I need to fill it, but I might be interested in live plants.

pearlgrass will grow a number of ways depending on its environment. If you have high light and Co2 it grows along the substrate and forms a very good carpet, I removed it from my Co2 tank so don't have pics of that.
Given high light it forms more of a bush that spreads, I recently broke that bush up and replanted clumps of it around the tank so again don't have pics of the bushy carpet that it can make but here is pics of it spread after I rescaled the tank.


Given average lighting it doesn't bush out so much but grows taller, it does still devide some but not as fast as higher lighting.


Low lighting without any trimming they grow tall, here is one tank that I just let the stuff do as it wishes.



Bronze crypts, I do have some green too but I only got them the other day, they are very tiny and in emersed form so would take a while to transition to submerged.
The crypts you would get would be a small section of a plant, around 4-5 leaves but will grow into a full plants.





Java ferns

 

Could you message me when the free range tank is set up? I would love to not have to deal with snails... Or just pick and choose when I want to lol

I have green crypt wendtii, cardinal plant and temple plant starting in this tank now. The green crypts are tiny baby plants but I have plenty of them, the others are just starting and will be a while until I can propagate and replant.

 

Would you be able to post pictures of them? I'm kinda worried the baby plants wouldn't make it because I'm not gonna do co2 injections.

As a whole plants are hard to kill IMO, crypts are low light plants, even preferring lower lighting. They are in their emersed form, they will die back before regrowing in their submerged form, this typically takes a little longer than plants that are already in submerged form.
If you have any form of plant substrate crypts will flourish.

You can treat plants before putting them in your tank with something like a bleach dip to rid snails if you were worried about them, the regular plants I sell are already in submerged form too so won't take as long to adapt to new tank conditions.

 

How many portions of susswassertang do you have?

 

my fish will eat the snails, I don't mind... but they have also eaten most of my chain swords. How many do you have left? and how much are they? my fish love them and my broad leaved plants. especially my plecos

About 4, seen here.

I removed the chain swords from my listing, I don't have much of it, I might be able to round up like 10 of them if I'm lucky but that's about all, I have a few left over sag's that I didn't use that look more or less the same as chain sword IMO, I could add them too. I would do $0.75 a piece on each of them.

 

Haha! I thought those were the say thing... I will take them both, what is your paypal and total? I will buy like 8 and you can split them in half if you want or however you want to sell the different species.

I'm not home for another week or so, but I'll take the entire bag if it's still available when I get back!

 

Is emersed form when they are above water? I didn't know yhou could grow aquatic plants like that!

After I dip them in bleach, would I just rinse them off really well or something? The bleach idea scares me a bit. I'd be willing to try it though, as I don't have a pet store that sells live plants. As long as it dosnt kill my betta...

Almost all aquarium plants can be grown above water as long as the environment is very humid and the leaves stay relatively wet, there are some true aquatic plants that cannot.
The plants grow differently above water versus under water so when they change from one to the other they need time to change to their other form, during this period you can often mistake them for dying, but given time they will grow back in their new form.

Bleach dipping isn't something that I do with plants since I have no problem with having snails. The process is essentially dipping in bleach water ( I think 1:10 ratio) for a couple of seconds, then a few dips/rinses in dechlorinated water. There will be a lot more detailed guides out there, if you are familiar with Dustinsfishtanks on YouTube I am almost 100% sure he'll have a video on it.

As a side note, of course it not reccomended to use bleach for cleaning aquariums and equipment, but it can be done as long as you properly clean it afterward. I have cleaned a canister filter and all media using bleach water solution, I thoroughly rinsed afterwards and soaked for a few days in overdosed dechlorinated water, it was then left dry for a few weeks, now it's running on a tank with no ill effects.

Bleach dipping plants is used by many many people with no ill effects if done properly so you shouldn't need to worry too much. I believe you can also use peroxide dips too but you'd have to look that one up, I know it kills algae, not 100% sure about snails.

 

Is the water Sprite per plant or per individual stem?

Per stem, but I'm pretty generous with it I think.

Ok. I think I got 3 individual plants with that combo pack ... I really like them! Will they grow as tall as the water line or have you noticed a height where they top out? My 38 bow is pretty tall and I need some taller plants to make it look less bare.

They will just grow and grow, once they hit the water line they will grow even faster. I have a really strong plant on my 55 gallon that has reached the water line, if I'm correct the 55 gallon is 21"

 

First batch of snail free plants now available, Crypt wendtiI green

 

Will fire red cherry shrimp be available any time soon?

 

Any more subwassertang?

Yep

 

How many vals do you have left?
