Default Sept. meeting plant listing

I'd like to get an idea of what plants everone will be bringing, what I can sell at GCAS, and what you might want from me. Here's what I can offer:

- Eichhornia diversifolia (didn't like it at first, but it's filling in nicely; great color of green and fast growing.)
- Bolbitis (I have tons of this, but I can't remember which species it is...hedulotii or something like that.)
- Elatine triandra (a small fast grower, good foreground.)
- Heteranthera zosterifolia (Star grass. Great condition, fast grower.)
- Java moss (I have a compact ball 6" in diameter)
- Rotala macrandra 'green' and Rotala rotundafolia

Let me know how much you'd like and I'll try to come up with it. I might also be able scrape together some HC, riccia, Limnophila aromatica and Alteranthera reineckii (strong -maybes-,) and samples of specialty mosses (erect, xmas, peacock, taiwan.) The Hygrophila polysperma and Ludwigia repens 'broadleaf' all went to my cousin's shop...about 6 bags in total. Oh well...

Of course I won't be bringing any plants but will have some available by meeting time! I have about 50 species in my tanks (not including crypts) right now and should be able to spare a few stems to those that are interested.

I would be interested in the samples of moss you have and maybe some Eichhornia diversifolia. I will let you know more about the E. diversifolia when it gets closer to meeting time.

I can e-mail you a list of what I have in my tanks if you want. It is a bit too big to post here

Here is my wish list if anyone runs across anything by meeting time:

Elatine gussonei (plants or seeds)
Rotala sp. 'Nanjenshan' (Mayaca sellowiana)
Mayaca sp. (Thin rope kind)
Myriophyllum ussuriense
Rotala hippuris
Rotala pusilla

I was just dosing traces and Excel when I noticed that several of the blyxa japonica plants are showing splits, so I'll be able to bring a few of those to the Sept. meeting.

Matt - what crypt species do you have available? If we get that new 36x24x24 tank for the living room, I would love to add a bunch of crypts!

My new tank has some nice hair algae for donation! I'll have to do an algae check the closer it gets to the meeting, but I should be able to bring something.

I may be ready to pass along the Jungle Water sprite (Ceratopteris pteroides) by then, the larger is just shading my tank too much, though I like the babies.

My wish list includes mosses. I want moss walls and other moss constructions to hide equipment.

As far as trading plants goes, feel free to bring anything and everything you have to the meeting! Just label it with the plant name and your name. What doesn't get swapped at our meeting can either be auctioned at Sunday's GCAS meeting or donated to GCAS from SWOAPE!

Java Moss should do well at GCAS as would Java Ferns, Anubias, Stargrass, Bolbitis, and any other fast growing stems anyone may have! I've only been to one of their auctions but the more common stuff (Java Ferns, Vals, and Stargrass) did much better than the rest of the stuff that was donated!

Erik - the crypts I have are the common ones, lutea, I think wendtii, spiralis, retro-spiralis etc. I'm not even sure of the exact ID's on some of them as they came in with trades! I can easily break you off some runners if you want some. I lost my two C. nurii while trying to grow it emmersed out on the deck I knew I should've only put one out there...

I think Jack and Damon also have crypts but I'm not sure what type or if they will have any for the meeting!

I had some communication with Ken Saxxon and they do not want us to bring plants to their meetings for auction.

It seems they had issues with this in the past and the increase in auction items would make the meetings last too long. He said the only items that will be allowed for auction are items for the BAP/HAP program.

However, he did say they would welcome more plant donations from us...

So, unless you want to donate plants/fish to GCAS I would suggest you participate in the BAP/HAP program or not bring the items to the GCAS meeting on Sunday. We can still offer the items for sale via the GCAS forums if we need to get rid of stuff.

Any plants or fish will be welcome at the SWOAPE meeting but it would be wise to post here first and see if anyone wants them before bringing them along.
