Hi all,
I live in a small town and do not have many options for purchasing plants. What are some good online sites I can check out to buy aquatic plants?

 

[ichthyogeek]

I've heard good things about Tropica. What plants are you thinking of buying?

Start with the Sale/Trade section on this forum. Usually lots of good stuff there.
Using a desktop/laptop go to Forums>Member Forums>Sale/Trade.

Just an annoying word of caution when buying with many online retailers be prepared for mislabeled plants. Read reviews if you can.

I have been looking for Christmas moss for ever it seems. Really wanting to try anything in my hard- high ph water besides amazon sward, anubias, and java fern I find in LFS.

I've purchased from Buceplant.com and from a variety of etsy and ebay sellers. I've heard good things about dustins fish tanks. One issue you might have this time of year is the plants surviving till they get indoors if you live somewhere cold. Making sure they don't sit long outside your door will be pretty important if its cold enough for them to freeze.

I've gotten a lot of plants from others here. I've also successfully gotten plants from buceplant.com, h20plants.com, aqurariumcoop.com and etsy.com. I usually start here and make my way down that list.

Plants are hard to come by right now because of the pandemic. If you are trying to find something very specific, I have found recently that it's quite hard. I have been looking for a large amazon sword variety of echinodorus major martii. or ruffled sword I believe. When I finally found some and ordered some, they are super tiny. Also have tried to find Rotala Indica everywhere to no avail.

I've had good luck with tokyuaquatic, ebay, the wet spot and on this forum.

I honestly look up aquarium plants and compare the first three-four websites that pop up, of course i check reviews too but never had too much trouble.

I have never ordered plants online before so I don't have any experience. But I was looking to buy online and I saw Jacobs aquarium and he has pretty decent prices. I was thinking to order from him. Does anyone have any experience ordering from him?

For some reason it says I do not have access to this. Maybe one has to have made a certain number of posts or something or be a particular member level??

I'm giving AquariumPlants.com a try. We will see. I think I should have waited. It just dropped below freezing in my area again.

Looks like you have been on here a while though so I doubt that’s it. You can only access it on the NON-mobile version. Did you try it from a desktop computer?

Yes, I did. States, "You have insufficient privileges to reply here." on both For sale/trade and WTB/RAOK.

Oh! I know what's going on there. Apparently it's been a thing for a while where you can't respond to threads in the WTB/RAOK and FS/T forums. You can still PM people to buy their stuff (hehehe I'm gonna buy soooooo many shrimp...)

Okay, Thank you for clearing that up for me!
