Plagiomnium Trichomanes this one looks pretty cool and fairly easy to grow, it doesnt need any co2 and lighting is low to high. pic 1

Plagiomnium affine (http://www.aquariumplantsandsupplies.com/product_info.php?pName=plagiomnium-affine&cName=aquarium-plants-liverwort) this is the other one i really like! i like the weeping effect it has. also fairly undemanding concerning conditions and no co2 needed lighting medium to high. pic 2

so BIG question anyone know if they blacklisted? azurekoi, Vis?

please excuse the unmentionables, the pic is from a US site.

lol they really are something. they also had a very odd nympheae sp which had elongated leaves in red but i think i'll stay away from the nymphaea sp since my tanks arent big enough. they also had that mottled amazon which looks interesting and a couple of mosses i dont recognise.

windfire... you would need a permit I believe.

The one with the shrimp on it is also called star moss, cement moss and its not really meant for submersed growth. It seems to die after a few weeks and the growth if succesfull under water is extremely slow.

The same type thing with the second one. The guys that could get it growing was very dissapointed in the submeresed look they got.

3rdly permits aside it takes weeks for shipment to arrive from them to South Africa and the guys that have ordered was very dissapointed in the state the goods arrived. So I would stay clear if I were you. We already have a few awesome liverworths in the country so ask around.
