My Plant Selection

[jordan barnhart]

I know exactly what plants I want for my new tank. The problem is I cannot find them anywhere. I've looked in-store, and I looked at AquariumPlant.com.

If someone could help me or give me ideas can you please post them here.

My plant list are as follows. The ones in red are what I can get.

Eusteralis stellata
Anubias barteri var. Nana
Limnophila aromatica
Ludwigia inclinata var verticillata “Cuba”
Riccia Fluitans - Information
Hemianthus Callitrichoides “Cuba”
Vesicularia dubyana

Yes I know the requirements of these plants and they are high light. (except the moss and anubias) I got it all taken care of.

The problem is that they're all fairly rare aquatic plants. They show up on aquabid occasionally.

I'm suprised you can't find Riccia f. or Limnophila a., they are normal everyday day plants here.

The "cuba"s are really weird out there kind of things, they are not generally available.

Maybe if I ask my new LFS to see about ordering some. I know they can get my anubias, moss, and riccia as I've seen it there. I just cant find my other plants. Those are the only ones I want and lots of them. It is the look I want 100%.

Aquabid had some ludwigia 'cuba' yesterday.

Hemianthus Callitrichoides “Cuba” is very, very rare. If you do happen to find it, you'll pay big. It's supposedly a slow grower.

>>> in usa it is very difficult to find even basic plants

Thats very true, I am often suprised when peolple say they can't get "x", where "x" is a really common plant here.

Well, LL, you're in the same country as Tropica, I think you'd be hard pressed NOT to get plants!!
