Sorry, no pics. If I took the time to take actual pics of the plants price would need to be tripled at least. Pics of these plants can be found through most search engines. Most of the plants I posted are highly sought for, they were gone in less than 30 minutes on another forum since I was pretty much giving them away.

The big deal is the time involved, I have 9 planted tanks to take care of among other things. If I take the time to photograph the plants I will need compensated, my time is valuable to me. I am contributing back to the hobby by offering rare plants at such a price, IMO if you do not know what the plant is, you do not know how to grow it. Most of the plants I buy from hobbyist do not have pics, pics are all over the web. In my experience a package like I offered is spoken for very quickly. Here is another link that is useful:

None of my business but if you plan on selling alot of plants .............. then a few pictures of exactly what you are selling definately wouldnt hurt.

Doesnt take that long to take a pic.

Even if you just took a pic of each tank and made copies and circled each plant your selling.....or draw an arrow to it with each name.


Just a thought.

Time is valuable for everybody, not only you! Don't compare with the other Sellers while the others provide pictures to proof they have items on hands in good shape and healthy, but you can't. Update yourself if you are in such big business!

I believe all my plants are healthy, just what is your problem! Stay away, I don't want your business. If you don't like the terms, don't buy!

I'll just add a positive note: Those plants and tanks look great. Diablocanine, from the pictures it doesn't like you have a whole lot of light on those tanks. Could you share how much and what type of lighting you have, and whether or not you use CO2 injection? Just curious.

Thanks for the kind words and support. I'll edit my pics with requested info, please bear in mind I really suck at photography (what is really a shame is it took me many hours to produce these, should see the ones I deleted). All these tanks are grown out now, i.e., these are old pics. I got so discouraged with the way these turned out I gave up on the camera until I learn how to take pictures. All tanks have 100% Onyx sand substrate except the small ones (29 and below), I mixed charcoal Soilmaster with the Onyx sand as an experiment and like the results. I dose Flourish Excel and Tropica Master Grow after weekly water changes. I double dose PMDD daily (I cut back to 2-3 times a week on the discus tanks because the TDS was scaring me). Light duration is 12 on/12 off controlled digitally.

Thank you. Send me a PM with your tank parameters and what would interest you. I believe I have a thread around here with a list of my plants. I usually only ask for shipping and a triple venti caramel machiato for most plants. BTW, my wife is from Colchester.

Thank you. Posted a reply to your info request. Let me know if you have any questions. Doesn't look like a whole lot of light probably because I suck with a camera. For example, I do not have any yellow plants but there sure is a pic of some.
