[LiftCrazy*]

Hi Zafgak, you have PM...

[Gilbertr14]

Wow those are pretty.

Waiting for Solex69 to reply.

I asked for help setting up my tank.

A bit of a newbie when it comes to live plants, with a seriously low success rate.

Will keep these in mind.

[SauRoN]

Zafgak what did you give me tonight?

[Zafgak]

[SauRoN]

Someone actually gave me a negative reputation comment for asking a simple question!

Fish people are worse than geeks.

[Gilbertr14]

[Kribs]

[AquaNewbie]

[Laure]

Hi guys

When are you getting another shipment of hard-to-find plants? I am really impressed by the last lot I bought, but was dissappointed I couln't get Rotala Wallichii before they sold out. Just a quick question - was it green or amber/pink?

[Reafer]

[Laure]

[Ruan]

Ahh awesome! Laure and Reafer, please let me know when you guys order again, I'd love to chip in, if you guys dont mind?

[Zafgak]

PM away Laure

[SauRoN]

Guys what am I looking at for a crapload of floating plants that would possibly maybe survive Malawi and/or Oscars?

[Carping]

Where could we find a list of plants (common names with scientific names, with pictures), to enable us to know what we're looking for??

[Henk Hugo]

sauron - what about some onion plants?

[Zafgak]

Check out Tropica's web site -full of really good info..

Sauron - what about the nile cabbage and duckweed ???? BTW do you need some food for the oscars - we have about 40 kribensis juveniles that need somewhere to go....

[Carping]

Thanks, will do..

[SauRoN]

sauron - what about some onion plants?

I think that's what Zafgak said you mentioned last time on the phone?

But aren't those bulbs (bolle in Afrikaans) and need to grow from substrate?

I was hoping to find something to cover up the upper level of my aquariums as both are pretty bare from the middle to top.

How big are the Juvies?

I know the tinfoils will take them..

[Laure]

Hi

Seems like this thread has gone off the rail? A plant thread and we are talking kribs?

Anyway, can somebody please tell me if there are plans to do another import of these nice plants?

[veegal]

There are definitely plans to import more plants Laure - I just can't give you a definite date at this stage.

Should anyone have any special requests please send me a PM and we'll see what we can do. Please make it a PM as often requests get lost amongst all the other posts :)

[SauRoN]

I don't know bugger all about plants, I just want to add some greenery to the upper levels, and I figure drifting plants are also less maintenance.

Then again I'm -afewgrandinmymoer, so won't be able to buy anything before end of the month.

[Henk Hugo]

floating plants are all banned.....

I would really go for the onion plants - they grow looooooooooong leaves that goes along the top of the tank

[Gilbertr14]

Hey Gav,

have you guys got a list of whats left?

[Ferryman]

yep, lots of people come asking at the nursery about this or that floating water plant, (we dont really keep anything completely aquatic, more along the waterfeature line) but we cant get those anymore, as they're all classified invasive
(i dont know if there are Any floating plants allowed anymore in sa?)

henk, i read in my little "practical aquarium" file that for aquariums its better to cut back the onion plant leaves? apparently it said the plant blocks light? that true? or is it a straightup growing leaf?

[Gareth]

Pm Sent I hope there is some plants left

[Ruan]

PM sent. Holding thumbs.:p

[veegal]

Thanks for the pm's everyone! We are finalising the stock take and should hopefully get it completed later this evening at which time I will have more of an idea what we currently still have in stock. I'll repost the updated list here as soon as we know the quantities of each item we still have available.......thanks for your patience :)

Too right we will - have a 6kW in stock at work - It is not in stock anymore !!!!

Actually we are installing 6MW in generators in November - I wonder if I can slip a 1.2MW out of the stores with no-one noticing :blink1::bigsmile:
