    Default Best sources for Aquarium plants?

    What are some of the best aquarium plant supply companies/people? Not necessarily those that specialize in rarities but more like those that offer excellent value, healthy stock and fair shipping.

    Strictly hypothetical on my part right now but what if I wanted to do a planted tank.. where would you suggest I get those plants?

    Tanks,

    Aprils Ross when she had her aquarium shop, she gets her aquarium plants from Tropica, very healthy. They have resellers in the States too.

    Not sponsored but I’ve been ordering my plants from Marcusfishtanks. He has the cheapest plants from what I’ve seen, cheap shipping, and nice variety! I’ve also ordered from H20 Plants and Aquarium Coop which have great plants as well!

    I've been buying plants and CO2 supplies from aquariumplants.com for years. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

    Haven't bought in awhile, but I was pleased with plant orders I got from Aquarium Co-op. If you order over a certain amount, I think they include free shipping.

    I've also ordered from buceplants, but can't recall whether the plants I got were quality or not - so I would say average quality since I can't remember.

    Guess I’m lucky. I’ve got a pet store with a great supply of plants. When I did buy online it was from plantsfactory off eBay.

    It’s called South Shore Tropicals. Old family owned shop. Not the biggest place but they do get in some nice plants and fish. Lots of movement of stock. So everything always look fresh.
    Another by me is called Pets warehouse. They’re a small chain. They too have good plants.
