I've more of this stuff than I know what to do with. Too many background plants so I need to clear out.
Specify how much you want and just pay $6 for shipping. If you're local and can pick up, PM me to arrange pick-up.
PM if interested. Thanks!

what are the current conditions you are keeping it in. and if you have a pic of what it looks like in your tank it would be appreciated. a search on google didnt show me a good example.

gimme a few minutes for pictures.
~2wpg (2x54W T5HO over 55g), 9hr photo period, slightly less than EI-level doses of ferts, tap water (~7.6pH and hard), pressurized CO2.
These plants are low light plants so they really don't need that much care. They just happen to be in my high-ish tech tank so they grow pretty well.

actually, I'm in the middle of rearranging and trimming it, but thanks!
How much jungle val are you willing to part with ? :)
I just started a thread in the planted tank forum...I have a 160 and a 175 to plant!

Remember, it doesn't take much to start with vals...especially jungle vals. Just don't use Flourish Excel.
I haven't finished pulling it all up. I think I'm getting out of vals so there will be plenty. I'll take a count tomorrow.

Thanks in advance. I found the Flourish Excel thread, wow!
I'm new to this so all advice is appreciated, thanks.
Would have been a heartbreaker to watch them melt :/

Wow have I got a huge number of responses!
I will post numbers when I get back from the plant club meeting this afternoon. I'll try my hardest to get something to everyone.
From what it looks now, I'd say I'm out. But lemme get a count first.

Sorry folks, I didn't get a chance to count out the plants. Too tired from the meet. I'll get it done after I come home from work tomorrow.

This offer is now closed.
I've got about 20 vals left, plenty of guppy grass, and I've got 7...8 packages to make out. Hmmm...
I'm sorry but I'll have to fill the requests of those who replied/PM'ed first.

What exactly is guppy grass?
Editing to say I should have been more specific. I just can't find much about it when I googled it, and I was wondering what sort of care it required.
