Best LFS to buy plants?

I was wanting to check out a few shops today that have a good selection of aquitic plants.  Any suggestions besides the Fish Gallery.  

Anyone planning on doing some trimming soon.

I second the vote for City Pets.  Fish Ranch has some nice plants, too, but I was really impressed w/ City Pets.  I found out from other stores that City Pets pays someone to come in and take care of their plants, maybe ek knows, it might be ADG?

Re: Best LFS to buy plants?

They are partners with ADG when it comes to ADA products but we have a famous person in the planted tank art that takes care of the tanks at CityPets which is Luis Navarro.

He is a member here as well as other forums and has been in several AGA contest placing high in it.

59 and Kirby.

FYI - there is also a link to an LFS map at the top of every page.  :)  (Just requested for Fish Gallery to be added/changed from Village)

Re: Best LFS to buy plants?

tisk tisk yeah he had some really great deals lat time i got plants from him, now i have so many . If you search around to different mainstream stores you can find some great deals, especially on the more common stuff, i mean they have a version of corkscrew val (not too curled on the leaves) for only 99 cents a bunch at my store and they had several. also you can get anubias usaully for 4 to 6 bucks at a chain, as a potted plant or as itself now too, most independents start around 8 to 10 for anubias.
