Like the title says, I am looking for a small amount of the Java trident to get started in my tank. I'm also looking at replacing my Val. nana, which melted in my tank during a blackout while I was on vacation. I'd also like to find some Cyperus helferi.

Thanks!

Interesting question. I am seriously thinking about removing some (or possibly all ) of the Cyperus helferi i have in my tank. Depending on collective interest, i could be talked into removing all of it. I am not entirely sure how many plants i have; i assume it is a collection of many plants that surround the 1 or 2 original plants.... or it might be a few specimens with lots of leaves. The plant (group) is large and tall. Its leaves drape the top of my 24" deep 90g.

i also have substantial trident to prune (from another tank). If i caught your message a few weeks ago, i would also have had a nice amount of V.nana.

I got offers from 2 people which should cover most of the Cyperus helferi I have , so i think i am going to remove all of it from the tank. If i have any left over, let me know if anyone else is interested. This is not an easy plant to find. I got mine in April from Guy Oei at Albany Aquarium.
Here is the "before" picture of the 24"deep 90g aquarium.

here are the Cyperus i removed and the tank afterwards. You can see that there are a bunch of CH available. the 2 larger ones on the top are already spoken for. The tall grass in the back is Echinodorus angustifolius (aka Helenthium angustifolius... or H.angustifolium). It was already in the tank but hidden by the CH. Now i need something to fill in the left corner.
