[clayt101]

Looking for it. Will pay via paypal. Preferable in SE Houston as I have someone that can pick it up (I think).

omg nice plant, if you ever find some I'd love to buy some too.

crazycat and i were looking for some a couple months ago. its really hard to find since it is unable to be sold in texas, so be careful of whom you buy it from. i think its possible to legally buy it from hobbyists within the state tho. there was some info in the previous thread.

It can be sold in Texas, simply can't be carried across state lines (i.e. bought from out of Texas). I purchased some from an Aquatic Plant Central member in Dallas and had him mail it to me. Unfortunately I no longer have any though.

i knew that you can buy from hobbyists, are you saying a LFS can sell it? Aquarium World and Fish Gallery told me that they wouldnt sell it, but maybe thats a business choice and not law

I actually have a tiny bit left, but when I redid my substrate, it really killed it off. The few pieces that I have remaining, I now have under bright light light and high CO2 to hopefully get it growing again.

well maybe you will have some to share soon! i would love to have more but all of what i have seen isnt actually sunset but some other pink hygro with no leaf veining.

It might be sunset hygro. I don't know if it is true or not, but I have read that the veining is actually the result of a virus.
