    Smile Aquaticmagic plants

    I thought I would post these pics to show the quality of plants received from aquaticmagic out of Singapore. I paid 2.50 a piece for each plant. I ordered and paid for 15 anubias and received 25??? BONUS! free shipping another bonus. Maybe they thought 10 would be dead before they reached me, who knows. 5 days total shipping time once shipped. All arrived alive and in as good a shape as if they were pulled today. I also assumed I would receive the root system only but all came full of leaves. they were cleaned using the dilluted bleach method and thoroughly rinsed in dechlorinated water.
    the website is

    now what to do with the rest???

    Thanks for this info and pics too! I just placed an order with them, lots of different Anubias to go on the driftwood I am currently soaking in a tub of water. Hope mine arrive as good as yours did! Great prices they have.

    Very nice looking anubias! Cheap too! I used to get all my Indian Almond Leaves from there, super cheap and great quality.

    I was really looking forward to receiving my live plants from aquaticmagic but US Customs said the item was prohibited and destroyed due to the permit being missing. Hopefully this is just a one time mistake, since I really like their prices and free shipping!

    I believe Barbs plants were held up at customs but the sight says the plants are fine for 3 weeks in the packaging. I was fortunate to recieve mine PDQ

    I ordered a bunch of moss and Anubis from them. 7 days to get here...not bad and all was well considering. They are very good about replacing anything that may not make it in 14 days. So let them know if your not happy. They will make up for it. Be clear....sometimes wires get crossed...but they do stand by their products.

    Another GREAT service is USA is Aquarium Plants Central...better than most. I ordered Valls 25" and 15" Helferi in bags with O2 (like fish) wrapped in ceiling insulation. Very FAST 2-3 days. Great Service.
