Anyone know where I can get pennywort in the Chicago area?

I have seen it at Aquarium Adventure in Hoffman Est and they are running a 60% off sale now.

I have Brazilian pennywort. I bring some to my lfs(The Ark) about once a week, he sells it like hotcakes. I'f you'd like I'll save some for you. I live just across the border in Indiana. By the way it's also snail free!

I just happen to ask about pennywort and moneywort at Petland in Bolingbrook today and was told they never stock them there. I have seen it at Petsmart in Downers Grove recently, though.

Thanks for the help guys. I will check the downers grove petsmart tomorrow. And jnate, Indiana is about an hour drive for me so not sure if I can do that. Thanks for the offer though.

None at the downers grove petsmart. Just hornwort and moneywort. I thought this was supposed to be a pretty common plant...

I have pennywort, I bough it from the Petland in Bolingbrook in Sept-Nov. Strangely it's a slow grower in my tank.

Don't know if you're still looking, but I was at the Bolingbrook PetLand yesterday and they had Brazilian Pennywort in stock. Also had Florida Sunset Crypts for anyone interested.

Oneiros · 03-05-2013, 04:15 AM

I just saw some pennywort at Tropi-Quatics in Lombard 2 days ago when I was in there. (it was right next to the moneywort I bought that's already grown over an inch! crazy stuff)

If you are going to the Swap meet in April, that's there I was able to pick up some Dwarf Pennywort. Grown emersed, but will convert over time
