Does it have to be tropica plants?

I have bought plants from plantsalive, they are a good price, good plants and fast delivery. I have also bought from ebay and got some lovely plants from the last trading post (or similar) again fast deliver and there plants were a good size and have come on great.

Aqua Essentials Have Tropics plants, always good on Delivery times with stuff to, although i never had any plants from them yet.

If you have one in your area then Pets at Home are 3 pots for £9 which is a lot cheaper than any internet site. Limited choice though and you need to get them when they are freshly delivered because they aren't the best at keeping plants.

I have just used www.plantsalive.co.uk as I wanted some plants as part of my xmas prezzie and they are really good. I ordered the 18" collection for just over £5 so prices are pretty reasonable. I thought for that price they would only be small but they are full grown plants. I received an email to say they had been dispatched from the shop and received the plants by Royal Mail within 24 hours. I would certainly be using them again in the future if I need more plants and would certainly recommend them.

If you want the best, then go for Tropica. Buy cheap, buy twice.

some of the plants on that list are non aquatic, and the trouble with 25plants/ mixed selections is that you get to many different species, with only a couple of plants in each. Far better to choose your own so you know what you are getting, and you can go for your own look.

saying that last trading post on ebay are good. But otherwise for tropica, it is P@H, AE & TGM.

greenline also do some quality plants.

You will almost always get pest snails with any supplier. Nature of the beast I'm afraid. Trick is not to overfed your fish and keep your plants healthy and the snails soon disappear.

Or put the plant(s) in a bucket overnight with some cucumber/lettuce or similar weighted to the bottom and most of the snails will vacate the plant. Eggs of course will remain in situ.
