    Hi there,
    I am looking for quite a lot of floating plants.
    Where in Gauteng, can I get at a really good price?

    Thanks

    eish, they've certainly jacked their prices, I bought a big bag full for R100 i think it was around Nov last year, this stuff grow fairy quickly under the right conditions, so you don't need much to start with.

    Supply and demand I suppose.
    Was also looking for some, but they are either too expensive, or full of snails.

    Well I just came back from throwing some in our local park dam. I would honestly give my extra plants away if you guys were closer

    Not cool. And very irresponsible. Hopefully a joke (a bad one at that...)

    And that's when the hobby gets a bad rep, Never dispose of anything in local water ways as this can create a problem with invasive species.

    Geez guys was just joking around, just thought it was funny that you guys in JHB had to pay so much for things that people in CPT have to much that they have to throw it away. Sorry I am not funny just silly that you guys had to pay so much for it

    We're a serious bunch of hobbyists :laugh: Glad to hear it was a joke!
    We need to introduce a rule.... any jokes need to be delivered using the Comic Sans MS font :idea:
