Online plant seller recommendations?

Anyone have any good recommendations of good online sellers for aquatic plants? More specifically, I am looking for java fern, java moss, water sprite, anubias, and frogbit. Every LFS I've checked in a 30 mile radius of me doesn't sell any of these plants except for the anubias. Thanks in advance <3

sooooo many! I have recently made purchases at Marcus fishtanks & love it. Also from Dustins fish tanks & Aquarium Co-op. I think Marcus has all the plants except the water sprite that you listed above. I bought a beautiful huge water sprite from Dustin- he sent me 2! But I am mad at it right now, it separated into 100 pieces & is currently floating all over the place lol other people on here have mentioned a ton of sellers though!

Hahaha it could be worse! I'm currently battling an insane amount of duckweed I heard the horror stories but I still underestimated how fast it would grow lol. Anyways, I took a look at Dustins and I realized I put a ton of plants in my cart forever ago and got distracted and forgot about it. I'll have to go back right now and look again now that I have a bit more time! Thanks so much for your help!

Marcus fish tanks all the way! They have very cheap plants and shipping is only $5. BettasAreSuperior back me up!

 

I have made over a dozen orders over the years with aquariumplants.com. I've never been disappointed.

Buceplant.com is another. I've not ordered from them yet, but I probably will in the future. They have such a good selection.

After I read yours and Kathylee's comments, I literally immediately ran to Marcus Fish Tanks and impulsively placed a $55 order hahah They had every single plant I was looking for, and every plant was under $6 AND free shipping! Doesn't get better than that lol

Yup and I am willing to bet that every single plant will arrive in prestine condition! Just remember that the plants will melt at first.

I've actually been surprised with the melting, the swords & anubis I've ordered from Marcus haven't melted at all! But anything with smaller leaves like moneywort, pennywort, ludwigia, reineckii, clover plant, and baby tears were the worst for me. Some of them took a good 40-90 Days to look like a plant again!

 

The only mail order plants I ordered were from Aquarium Coop. They plants were well packed, well labeled, and arrived in great condition. I would readily purchase from them again.

One of the larger fish stores in my area gets their plants from Dustin's Fish tanks. I have purchased several of those plants. They were in great condition as well. If I did not have this LFS about 20 miles away, I would not hesitate to purchase from Dustin's. Be aware that Dustin considers snails to be useful in planted tanks, so you may well receive snails or snail eggs along with your plants. I like having snails (even smaller "pest" snails) as part of my cleanup crew. If you hate snails, you might want to avoid Dustin's plants.

Since you live in Arizona, I will mention Arizona Aquatic Gardens in Tucson. I have not purchased from them and am not likely to do so. I have read several negative comments about the business. If you ever get down to Tucson, you might check to see if they allow on-site purchases. I cannot tell from the web site it they are online only.

I'm really glad you mentioned Arizona Aquatic Gardens, I live pretty far from there but I was planning on ordering a couple plants from them. If I ever get the chance to head down that way, I'll definitely let you know how it is!

 

Hi, I have listed a few threads below on similar threads that have received lots of responses.

Will do! Sorry, I was late I didn't get a notification about this thread.

Marcus Fish tanks is the place to go if you are looking for plants. I have ordered from them and will continue ordering from them. The shipping is quick and all the plants were in pristine condition when I got them. For my new 20 gal tank, I ordered all my plants from them and I put them into my tank and everything survived. With Marcus fish tanks orders 49$ and up are free shipping. Marcus, the owner is also very generous with the number of plants he gives to his customers. I ordered 1 order of dwarf sag and got 8 dwarf sag plants. Very generous with plant quantity. I ordered $100 worth of plants from them and all $100 came right on time in perfect condition. All the plants are currently thriving. If you use the code 10 OFF at the checkout then you can get 10% off. I highly recommend that you check them out!

1000% highly recommend them.

I'm still waiting for my package, but I think they already sent it out (which was crazy fast, btw) I'm glad to hear that all the plants you bought were in such great conditions! I'll definitely keep you updated once I get my plants!

 

I just ordered Sunday through Marcus fish tanks. Was excited seeing they had everything I wanted for a good price in I've spot.
Can't wait till they ship i was hoping to have some info by Friday
