House of Tropicals

[MrLimpet]

Can anyone give me any information on the House of Tropicals in Glen Burnie? I live on the Eastern Shore and there isn't much selection of plants around here. I stopped in at H.O.T. about ten years ago while visiting friends. At that time they had a good selection of plants, but they also had snails and BGA in their plant tanks.

I'm getting back into aquariums after taking a few years off. I'm setting up a 5.5g planted nano tank for starters. I would rather pick out the plants by myself instead of ordering them. The thing is Glen Burnie is about 100 miles away and I don't want to make that drive just to be disappointed. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

Fish are nice there, plants not so much, they have a few, nothing special. Maybe some anubias, hygos that is about it. If you want some nice plants come to a GWAPA meeting. Check my sig for details

Thanks for your reply. Unfortuneately, it looks like attending a GWAPA meeting would mean about 3 hours of driving each way. I may just post a want list in the swap shop.

If you saw the plants at a GWAPA meeting you wouldn't mind the 6 hours. We do move the meetings around so not all of them are in NOVA, oh, and joining the club lets you in on group orders when we do them.

Yes, the group orders are a plus will more then pay for your membership, the plants, and you get access to the forum, where you could also buy and sell plants if you like.
