The Next Swap Meet will be on Saturday Feb 2 @ 2:30

Location: Whole Foods Market
95 E Houston St New York, NY 10002‎

Foot court. I encourage everyone to be a consumer there to avoid being accused of loitering. We are likely going to be there for no less than 30 minutes to talk/swap then head towards the walking tour of Pacific/123/WIN/Aquastar.

Feel free to post what is available to swap/looking for and let the festivities begin!

Those who wish to meet early for lunch, please speak up.

If I can make it I should have...

Red tiger Lotus - varying sizes, not sure how many, I owe ppl some RAOK.
Dwarf Sag - a few plantlets
Java fern- I have a giant plant, I'll just trim some
Willow fern? - does this even exist? its some kind of fern with trident looking leaves
Marsilea Minuta - I just bought a WHOLE bunch of this and probably won't need it all. I'm planting this weekend so will have an update: UPDATE: its in transition phase so a lot of it melted. :( I dont mind setting up another time to meet when its recovered. I know a lot of ppl have asked about it.

Looking for:
Sunset Hygro
Simple stems for low light
micro sword
suggestions for a midground plant?

I am interested! NY or NJ is cool with me. If it is NJ, I have a mini van and would be willing to pick 5 to 6 people from the PATH train in Hoboken. Not sure about doing LI.....I can be convinced though!

All I have to offer....

-black bar endlers fry/juvies(NOT hybrids, would classify as Class P)....juvies may or may not color up by this day
-guppy fry/juvies....nothing special, but the parents are very nice looking
-red cherry shrimp.....again, nothing special, but some of the moms are a real nice red (might have a lot of these to offer!)
-Ken's fish food. I can give out baggies of premium flakes, veggie sticks and algae wafers. I also have betta micro crumble, which I actually use for my fry and they love it!

I'm still waiting for my plants to grow out, so I can't really offer much as far as they go. Looking forward to this!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to throw my offerings out there again. I know it's not much, but I'm still young when it comes to this hobby. The red cherry shrimp I have available are spoken for, and possibly the endlers. The Ken's fish foods are still available for anyone who would like to try it out.

Not really looking for much as this is my first time out. What I am really looking for is to make a few friends who enjoy this hobby like me!!

Looking forward to the meet. See you all out there!!

This is great. I would love to meet up with everyone. I would prefer a closer venue that could be done with just trains (Manhattan, Brooklyn) than a farther one (NJ/LI) - as I am on call that day - but I could make it work either way. If long distance - I would drive - and could take a few people down with me, but if I am called in to work I will have to leave early - and those people would have to catch rides with others the rest of the way.

Stuff I will definitely have to trade:

Plants:

Red root floater (Phyllanthus fluitans)
Giant salvinia (Salvinia oblongifolia)
Asian watermoss (Salvinia cucullata)
Pellia (Monosolenium tenerum)
Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides (this is what it was sold to me as - the leaves have slightly larger lobes then what I see in pics - but I am not growing it with CO2)

I may also have some other cuttings by that time.

Other items:

Manzanita log (~8" long x 3" diameter - give or take) - can snap a pic if someone wants to see it
10" pair of tweezers (wider ends - 1/4" or so, not pincer type) - they are a little stiff - but may break in.
Bag of "natural looking", brown aquarium gravel
I could also start a couple of microworm starter cultures

Looking for:

Brazilian micro sword (Lilaeopsis brasiliensis)
Ammania sp. 'Bonsai'
Assassin snails
Duckweed
Tiger shrimp (wild type - nothing fancy)
New feeders or food for nano fish
