It definitely did. It seems no one wants any of it though.

yeah, it sounds like a great deal, I was thinking the same thing... it looks to prolific and salad like for any of my tanks! :)

The floating ones are just the ones I haven't planted. You can see how nice a fore/mid ground plant it makes with the planted ones on the bottom. I have some in the 90 as well. The 110 is planted as a grow out tank at the moment.

The plants I bought arrived in fairly good condition. The outer envelope was pretty battered, but the plants didn't seem any worse for the wear from it. I probably could have gotten away with more than 25 for my 33G, but the great thing about plants is they grow into more plants, so no worries there. Hopefully they do well in my tank. Thanks.

Standard priority mail envelope from the post office, so I don't get how they beat up their own mailer. Was the envelope damp at all?

Those plantlings are pretty tough. I see them sucked on to the intake of the Aquaclear 500s in that tank and still growing like nothing is wrong. All the ones I sent you have good roots already started, so go ahead and plant them. They should grow pretty quick once planted.

They are quite prolific, so I'm sure you'll have more than you ever could want in a few weeks.

bump...plenty more available

These plants grow to the conditions you give them. The ones in the 90 are about a foot tall now and are producing baby plants.

isn't that duckweed?

Nolapete

09-10-2007, 2:45 PM

nope...it's not duckweed. I have some indian fern in my 90 that is almost 18" tall.

Since you say that:
It definitely did. It seems no one wants any of it though. will you agree sell me 10 stems for $10.00 S&H included?
I'll send you money via paypal if you agree. Please send your reply to: gimincorp@optonline.net.

I have so much Indian Fern that I'm giving it away. All you have to do is PM me and tell me how much you want, within reason, and pay the $4.60 Priority Flat Rate Shipping.

A week from today, I'm tossing all the excess that remains in the trash, so get it now if you want it.

what a deal.....

Nolapete

09-13-2007, 4:48 PM

Since Paypal charges .43 cents on each $4.60 transaction, please send $5 for shipping.

I can eat a few pennies, but not .40 multiplied times everyone I'm sending plants out to for FREE.

09-13-2007, 4:50 PM

side not you still lose $0.05 per payment at $5....

I noticed that just now, but I can live with a .05 a pop.

Nolapete

09-14-2007, 11:28 AM

Even with all the responses I still think there's going to be more plants available. I have a lot going out on Monday, so get your order in. SAVE the Indian Fern from certain death!:grinyes:

All PMs answered. 2 people still need to send payment.

Nolapete

09-14-2007, 3:23 PM

I can probably take a couple more orders for Monday, then I'll have to see what's left.

Nolapete

09-15-2007, 11:31 PM

Waiting on 1 person to send payment. I'll post again Monday after I send these orders out once I see if there's any left.

Thanks Nolapete for the Indian Fern!
The plants look great in my tank:

On the back ground are the hygro plants. Fish are dwarf gouramis.
P.S. to all of you looking at this picture, this tank is a work in progress, it is just about 2 weeks old!
I strongly believe that fish hobby should be left to hobbyists sharing what they have and minimizing the role of LFS's that are taking the live things out of our environment. Our joy should preserve the species and protect our planet and not destroy it.

Where in NOLA are you? Would you let me pick up for free?

Nolapete

09-16-2007, 3:57 AM

I'm on the westbank in Terrytown. If there's some available after I ship out the current orders on Monday, sure.

isn't that duckweed?

No its water sprite under a different name. Look at the scientific name and google it.

If he had higher light the leaves would be much thinner and cut.

It's also referred to as Oak Leaf Water Sprite, but it is NOT regular water sprite. http://www.plantgeek.net/plantguide_viewer.php?id=52

I have 320w on the 110 and get both the wide leaf and thinner, cut leaves. I have less light on the 90H and still get both, so I would have to say your information is at best incorrect.

Nolapete

09-16-2007, 2:51 PM

Packaged 375 plant/plantlings and still have a lot left. There's still time to get yours sent out on Monday if you send shipping payment in time.

I had the oak leaf and it did look like that now that I think about it.

Was very brittle stems IMO and I was always fishing it out but I had it in a tank with bigger fish probably do well with small community fish.

It's more commonly known as Indian Fern. I agree, it's getting to where I have to fish out a lot of the smaller plants. Makes me want to have some tilapia to control it.

How much more do you have left? If there's a substantial amount that you would toss, you can toss it into an envelope and send it to me- I just got a 20 long, (2) 10 gallons, and a 5 today. I want to plant at least the 20 and the 5. :-)

I have this throughout my tank and love it. I guess I always just assumed it was duckweed because of the plantlets released and floating at the top. I am constantly netting them out.

All will be gone tomorrow when I ship out the last two shipments and the others are picked up. Thanks to everyone for providing a home for them so I wouldn't have to throw them away.

I'm sure I'll have more in the near future.

Guessing you don't ship to Canada?

Btw, are they like java moss/fern, would they take root on top of saaaay... Half a coconut :D? If so, I may be interested... Just not sure if I can buy enough for it to amount to shipping for the heads of 2 coconuts...
