heres my review on Aquadise...

[Kyohti]

Here's what I received. The crypts were appropriately mushy, the consistency of canned spinach, which I'm told is to be expected since crypts melt when introduced into any new environment.

The anubias was doing well enough..... until my snails snapped off 3 of it's leaves and chewed them up. :sad:

The 'freebie' I received may be a blessing and may be a curse. I don't have enough light or any fertilizer for it and I'm out of money to afford as much. We'll see if it can tough it out until I can drop some cash on higher wattage and some liquid ferts. : /

The driftwood was kind of disappointing, but nothing's perfect and once I got over it's general homeliness, I got to thinking it's almost black color will make the flame moss stand out even brighter. But after 3-hours of boiling, it still produced bogworms. Yeghhh!!!

My opinion? Not bad. My biggest peeve was that my freebie is something with higher requirements than the rest of my plants and the bogworms in my driftwood. The plants were in better condition when I added them than they are now! (thanks to my snails... grrr...) And though the plants were battered, I will wait to see how my next shipment (from a different seller) looks to compare and deliver my final verdict.

what seller did you get your second order from?

Nice, so far... lol
If that red plant is the one that I ordered from them, the leaves will fall off, but grow again

 

[Kyohti]

Yeah.... someone told me it might be Reideckii instead of Ludwigia? :huh:

It's been dropping leaves and losing some of the pink color, but the tips are still making new leaves. Is it adjusting? Do aquatics do like regular plants and wilt a bit before they take off, or is this a bad sign for my pretty pink plant??

AquaticMagic.... another eBay seller. He's the only one with the Flame Moss!!

I wanted some anubias petite or Marimo moss from him as well, but I was outbid for them....

So I'll be getting the moss and crypt undulata from him. We'll see how they look when they arrive. I believe he trims the crypt's leaves before shipping in anticipation of them melting when transplanted into the buyer's aquarium to reduce mess. Not a bad practice, eh?

I just got my order in. Everything came as ordered, and nothing was in too bad of shape. I got a free plant from them too, but it was dead. I wonder if I can get a refund on free plants.

As I've been told here, sometimes the 'dead' looking ones will sprout new growth if given the chance. Any pics?

Brydagr8- you got yours from aquadise too?

 

[Brydagr8]

Here is a pic of some Cryptocoryne retrospiralis I got. I was a little worried that they were dead but it came with like 5 of em and a couple were still good, plus crypts melt anyway right?

Sorry I didn't take more pics, they are all in my tank now. I also got some java fern that was in perfect condition and some pearl grass (it made a huge mess in my tank) The bonus plant I think was Cardamine lyrata, all the leaves fell off, I planted the stocks though, we will see.

20 in a month holy **** thats horrible. I can see how 20 negative is terrible compared to 1585 Positive Or 93 compared to 5757

I have been selling plants on aquabid for years... and I mean years. In that whole time I have ONE negative feed back. ONE in eight YEARS. Not 93, not 20 in one month. Holy cow, you give customer loyalty a whole new meaning.
