For Sale: Giant Red Rotala & Red Ludwigia - Pics

[WaywardSon]

Straight from my tank I have 5 stem bunches of Giant Red Rotala (Rotala macrandra) and Red Ludwigia (Ludwigia repens) for sale.

As you can see from the actual pics below, all plants are in excellent shape and are grown under high light (3.7 wpg) with pressurized Co2 and dosed with ferts daily.

There will likely only be one or two groups of each available every week or so. I will be happy to put you on a waiting list, if necessary. If you would like to order, PM and I will send PayPal information. Please post general questions to this thread – thank you!

Priority Mail shipping is included in the price:

$10.00 Single Bunch

$12.50 2 Bunches (one of each)

If ordering a single bunch, please be sure to identify which you would like.

Thanks - boy, they are sure good lookin' plants!
Got the plants just now CFSINC and boy are they beautiful that red ludwiga sure is RED! Both plants arrived in good shape, The red ludwiga was a little dry but still looked good. The paper towels was still moist. Just in time I did a rescape and water change and was waiting for the mailman to come :) Now its planting time. Thanks again was a pleasure doing business with you!

Marl

[marl_nyc]

Plantings done. That Red Rotala was a beautiful specimen. The red ludwiga was a little dry but I think it should be ok. Hopefully they thrive in my tank. Asides from the pressurized C02 anything else needed to maintain them? Will start using dry ferts. Have the red sea turbo bio injection c02 system and two 65 watt Smartpaq (10,000K/460 NM Actinic) for lighting. Should that be ok? Well thanks again CFSINC! Wish me luck!

Marl

*still looking for that 3L bottle so I can make a DIY CO2 reactor...

[WaywardSon]

Marl - how big is your tank? How many wpg do you have? They loved my tank, hopefully they will respond as well in yours!

When you get a chance, could you post a pic?

Visit a supermarket, most store brand sodas have 3L bottles.

Just to give you a heads up your lights arnt perfect for a planted aquarium. Actinic is a waste of watts here. Seek bulbs that are just 6700-10000K (not actinic)

I have one bunch of each left for this week - they have never looked better!! I hate to "throw them in the trash."

[Rudmin]

Are these plants good for beginners, i.e. don't require a lot of special maintenance?

[WaywardSon]

I have them under 3.7 wpg, with pressurized Co2 and daily ferts ... a high tech setup. They would likely be more of a challenge under different (lesser) conditions!
