go to pets unlimited and ask for jojo. he's good and hes the one who orders for all the plants. maybe he can send some to the big isle. alos petland in kahala is good too, but they just tok out their planted tank to the show so they are starting a new display tank. if robert is there, talk to him he's good too, but he doesnt want to share his secrets as much. to me, jojo is a lot nicer and shares more info.

oh yeah, aaron, i did go to the show the other week. the best in show tank was really nice. i think i could've placed high in the novice miniture planted tank class though :wink: if you got other places that you know of that we can collect plants let me know, im starting a 60 gallon tank soon, so im gonna need a lot of plants. by the way, i work at Honolulu Country Club and there is a lot of water ways here, im gonna look for some plants there.

aaron,

i used some black cinder in a small tank once. just used a nice full anubus and tried to use the 'golden ratio' (3 to 1) and set it a little off center. it looked nice to raise young fry in it. very simple set up.

i buy mostly from petland in kahala and pets unlimited in kalihi. pets unlimited has a lot of plants that the other stores dont have, but they are a little more expensive. 6 stems of Micranthemum umbrosum for $4.00 is a little bit too much. (i think, whats it in the mainland???)
