Village Tropical. You can also check out the fish market forum - there are plenty of plants up for grabs or trade around here.

suprisingly. petsmart has a pretty good selection of the usual plants.

frill, swords, hornwort, anachris, java fern, dwarf sag, hairgrass, vals, etc

village tropical

sunny's

petsmart/petco has plants like gt3guru stated.

the aquadise guy seems to be a good guy, i havent bought anything but did inquire about it and he was willing to meet me up since he didnt have a store front yet. he is on aquabid as well as ebay with just a nursery and lots of nice plants.

i usually give/trade trimmings so if you want some naps let me know so i can return the favor! it will probably be a little while cause everything is growng back out from the substrate change and when did that i only kept trimmings for myself to grow back out.

I have gotten a good deal of my plants through trading with other people on this site actually. This is definately my favorite method of getting plants. In addition to getting new plants, I am also able to get first hand experience on how to take care of the more exotic plants.


With that said, Village does have a good selection of plants.  I always stop bye there when I am on that side of town. Some of the potted plants from Petsmart have proven to be treasures for me. I have gotten large groups of anubius from Petsmart at a fraction of what most LFS would sell.

I'm not big into plants but have found some that work for me.  Like the others my favorite places to acquire plants are Village Tropical, trades or purchases among other members here or at the HAS auctions.

I'm with everyone else on this one, Village is probably the best, but not much beats trading with people here on the box.

Not really big into plants, huh. Really Szid! What was all that green leafy stuff in your tanks? I could hardly see the fish in a couple of them!
