Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won'
We all know our beloved bettas love to perch, nestle, and lounge on these wonderful man-made creations. But yet..we are normally limited to the choices we can select based mainly on price but also on the actual selection that most stores offer. (especailly on plants that are over 6" tall...those can get reallllllly pricey at the pet stores...on here they are very reasonable).
You also get a discount when you order more then 3 of the same plant. Like if you buy 3-6 you get a 10% discount, 6-10 you get a 15% discount, and 10 or more you get a 20% discount....that comes in quite handy when you're stocking a female tank..or buying plants for all your individual or divided tanks and you want them to all look really nice and coordinated
).
I've come across one of the best sites I've seen (and trust me I am a big time price comparison shopper before I buy annnnything lol) on the internet. The prices, selections, shipping charges, and ship time beat any stores we have around here or any other ones I've seen online.
And the BEST part of all these plants come with a weighted base..so you don't have to worry with having gravel in your tank to hold the plants down..if you don't want it in there. (ok ok..not all of them come with the weighted bases..you have to make sure you read (most say they come with a weighted base..there are like 5 plants on the whole site that come with those stupid gravel "cups"..but they sell "weights" to put in those..so HA! take that..you stupid gravel cups!!!
).
Only thing is they have tons of plastic plants to choose from too. Not that there is anything at all wrong with plastic plants, it's just we all know those aren't really all that good for our betta kiddo's..since most plastic plants are too hard and may rip their fins...so you have to read the descriptions carefully..they may or not say if they are plastic ..but they will definately tell you if they are silk (so if it doesn't say..you can assume it's a plastic plant
). Penn Plax and Sea Gardens have the most Silk to choose from...and since you can look at plants by manufacturer..that makes it alot easier shopping.
The place is called That Fish Place <---click meeeee!!!, also is in conjunction with ThatPetPlace as well..as they have all types of pet supplies not just for fish.
I just spent $25 (that includes shipping) on 15 plants for the new girls Wuv is sending me. (that'd be hard to do at your LFS or LPS or Walmart..when 1 nice silk plant there usually costs you anywhere from $3-$7 each!!!!)
Here's what I bought:
3
SeaGardens: Red Crinkle Leaf 4" wide x 6" tall
I already have 4 of these...they are in my 22 gallon tank (the one I made for 8 of my guys). I really like them and figure they will offer great places to hide or rest..as the guys love them. Plus the leaves have maroon tips on them...which I think really give the tank some contrast..instead of just green.
3
Sea Gardens: Brown Balansae 4.5" wide x 6,25" tall
I thought these would look cool and give them places to hide out...since when they get wet they will open up and fan out...so they can dart back and forth inbetween the fronds. It says brown..but they look like a dirty green to me lol.
3
PennPlax: Cardamine 6" tall
These are really cool plants. They are tall and have leaves sticking out. I already have 4 of these...my guys love to get in them and snuggle up in the leaves. The ones I have though are only single stalks..these have 2..which I thought was really neat..and keeps me from having to buy double the plants. Soooooo since I bought 3 of these..I'll actually be getting 6 plants.
3
Penn Plax: Rotala Serrate 6" tall
These looked cool since they are 3 plants in 1...so the girls can dart inbetwen the stalks. Or just lounge in the leaves if they wanted. I liked that they weren't plain ole green too..I like the color of these alot.
3
Penn Plax: Anubias 3" wide x 3" tall
I have 2 of these already in my 22 gal. tank. I have it up against one side of the tank and they love to swim in and under the "roots" that it comes with. The roots are real soft plastic..almost ruber like..so they don't rip fins. Gives them a good place to hide (which is a quite popular hiding place at WC time, for the guys who have them in their stalls lol). so I thought they'd work well in a female tank. Makes a very good front tank plant..since the fish like to hide under there..you can see them.
.......
you know what...they should pay me for all that .
You also get a discount when you order more then 3 of the same plant.
