not interested in buying. (seems to expensive to me)
but do you have any pics? ... iv never heard of small versions of theses moss's

 

[a1matt]

I don't have any pics.

The price reflects the rarity and slow growth of the mosses. Mainly the slow growth though.
Faster growing mosses will be advertised at a lower price.

 

[mike455555]

could you take some pics? and do they grow faster emersesed?

google search and i found this... is it the same moss? because it seems a lot cheaper

 

[a1matt]

That is the same moss (mini spiky). Having seen the size of the portions they sell, I can confidently stand by my pricing as my portion is larger. About 3 times larger. I've nothing against their portions by the way. Their shrimp are good quality too

I've never tried them emersed.

Sorry, I do not want to spend any of my time taking pics at the moment.

 

[mike455555]

all right no problem =] just interested in the moss's

Tip for you if you will. I was interested in these, i think you will find most people will want to see what their buying when spending £20 on moss (as in actual pic), if you dont want spend your time taking pics you will find alot people dont want to spend their money with you

+1. I read this post and got to the bit where it said "I don't want to spend my time....." Translation: I wan't your money but can't be bothered to give you any service, LOL. If you went into a fish shop and bought a plant you would look at it right ? Not really any different on here. Just my humble opinion. I'm sure you are busy but hey, 5 mins is all it takes Best of luck.

 

[a1matt]

I appreciate the comments regarding pictures. I really do. Unfortunately, at the moment I am pretty busy juggling a lot of things, and if I take pics the time it takes will prevent me listing other items. If things calm down, I will add in pics of what is left.

The mini xmas is now sold.
Mini spiky still available.

[mike455555]

[a1matt]

I already had a pic of the German mini moss, so added a link to that in the first post.

 

[Livewire88]

Hi, would you be willing to do a portion of Giant Willow Moss for £2?

 

[a1matt]

£3 is pretty cheap already (bear in mind postage and paypal fees come out of the original payment already).

I am happy to do discounts for multiple mosses though.

Added one more to the first post.
