Hey fellow planted aquarium friends. My name is Logan and I am your plant specialist at Alaska Coral and Fish in Anchorage. (we had to change our name)

Im starting this thread so you are able to keep in touch with me about what plants you need ordered, any advice you need, or for any other general inquiries about the store. Ill start this off by telling you that I am about to put in another massive plant order so If you need anything let me know before wednesday.

The stores planted aquariums:

Do you possibly have a price list?

grogan · 02-21-2012, 06:13 PM

Are plant prices are simple. Almost all of them are $8 per and $4 for some smaller crypts and bunched plants. Our driftwood with your choice of plant $25 (anubias, Java fern, baby tears ect). Some of our larger swords that I have been growing out are $25.

We sell locally and ship to ship to bush Alaska also. if somebody really wants me to ship out of state it definitely something we can do.

Update:
The plants are on schedule for delivery on friday. Depending on when they arrive and how long it takes me to set them up they should be ready for sale around 3pm ish. Head in and get them before I take them home :p
