I was thinking about ordering a case of spiderwood (if available) and wanted to gauge the interest level

The case I'd be ordering comes with 12 pieces ranging from 8"-12" in size

So start a list if you would be interested... I'm not going to hold anyone to it, but if I can get even 6 pieces "sold" before I order I'd feel a lot more comfortable doing so

[Sandz]

Im surprised you dont have 10 names on here.... Is this site even active anymore outside of a group of like 15 people?

[aquarium kid]

Nice plant list

[aquarium kid]

Good prices too

[Triton]

Thanks, the stuff that is on the "can get list" really comes down to the amount wanted and if it's something I need to do a minimum order on. If some wants 1 plant that nobody else wants but I gotta buy 10 lol

[SeaLady]

Received my order of plants really quickly! All good to go. And thanks for the extras, Triton. They went into 3 different tanks. You will be my go to guy for plants, first on the call list...

[Triton]

[KevinVA]

Didn't see this thread until now, but I'd be interested in some spiderwood.

[Triton]

Awesome, total I have about 4-5 pieces being spoken for, I have no problem ordering a case when I can get that much taken care of upfront :)

[Slaphppy7]

Have you ever posted any pics of the pieces you sell?

[Triton]

I don't see it till it gets delivered, it's kinda a random box.

[Slaphppy7]

So how do your customers pick the piece they want?..or do you pick for them?....pics through PM's?

[KevinVA]

Depending on the size, I might get two. I'd like to try something different in that other tank I mentioned.

[Triton]

Nah, when I get it in, il post photos and go from there, just really getting preliminary interest before I ordered it lol

[Slaphppy7]

Gotcha, thanks

[Triton]

yea. Kinda a random shot. But i ordered a case... nearly broke the bank lol

[Slaphppy7]

Ah c'mon man, I thought all of you Northern guys were rolling in the dough?

[Triton]

House repairs and saving for a wedding can make that dough flat bread pretty quick lol

I'm hoping this fall to get about $1000 in plant sales... will allow me to upgrade my 75 equipment, build a planted tank rack, and buy a go-pro for in tank shots :)

[Triton]

Spider wood is in!

Sorry for the horrible pic, I will post a better tomorrow. Prices will be $15 for the smaller stuff and $25 for the larger stuff - these are great to build a scape around

[Triton]

With bulbs... you don't need the set up yet ;)

[Compass]

With bulbs... you don't need the set up yet ;)

Oh that is a brilliant point. I can't fight that logic!! lol

[Triton]

Yea, just keep them damp and they last a long time :)

I just have them wrapped in a wet paper towel for now

[Compass]

Yea, just keep them damp and they last a long time :)

I just have them wrapped in a wet paper towel for now

Hmmm. I'll have to think about it. I wouldn't mind getting bulbs from all of them. How big would you say they get. If I got them for my 20 gallon would they become unmanageable? I know I've seen the lace leaf get pretty dang big.

[Triton]

They grow big, but can be kept in check, or the leaves will just float at the surface

[Triton]

Guess who will be stocking IAL and cholla wood starting next week

^this guy :)

[Slaphppy7]

Cool!....I'm really liking the cholla wood

[Triton]

Yea, I should have it in monday, the leaves will be a few weeks since I am importing them

[wayhilc]

[Triton]

Apono Longiplumulosus - $5 each

Oh I just got a crispus from the Aquatium Adventures near me, I would love to add the Apono Longiplumulosus. Also how big is the Ulvaceus plant? I might be interested in that too.

[Triton]

I love the longs, they are actually sprouting in my temp tank for them

The ulvaceus is like 18" tall, but to ship I probably would trim the larger leaves since my last customer said a lot of the long leaves melted

[Boundava]

That sounds great, I would love 2 longs and one ulvaceus. Did you want to PM me the details with shipping?

[Triton]

Will do, talk to you little later

[Boundava]

Just FYI my Aponogeton are all huge now and loving the tanks as much as I am loving them! If I didn't have too many Anubias right now I would get a couple, especially that Hastifolia and Lanceolata!

Gorgeous!

Oh what are costs on the almond leaves?

[Triton]

I ask $0.40 on the almond leaves just because of the size (I ordered ones that are much larger than I usually do) - some are football sized LOL

right back at cha!

[Triton]

Few types of plants Id like to clear out before the holidays

Linmophila indica - $1 per stem
Cyperus Helferi - $3 each
Blyxa Aubertii - $4 each
Red flame sword - $8 each
Aponogeton Capuronii - $7 each
Aponogeton Longilopulmous- $7 each
Crinum Calamistratum - $13 each
Banana plants - $3 each

[SueD]

Will you continue to carry the cyperus helferi? I'd like some of this but am just not ready yet - have only the tank, no stand, top, lights, substrate. Planning just one more tank when I retire in two months! But have no place to plant these now.

One other question, what, if any, kind of snails (ugh) might one expect with these?

[Triton]

I can get the cyperus occasionally. So should be an issue. The occasional pond snail sneaks by, I clean them the best I can, but once in awhile something gets past my old eyes. I recommend dipping the plants for ppl that want to eliminate risk of snails


Just posted a ton of pics of the spiderwood to my FB page (too many to post here - 30+)

[SueD]

My assassin colony works well with pond snails - haven't had one for a couple of years since I've had the assassins. But they've not been effective against MTS or those tiny flat ramshorns. I'm plagued by these.

[Triton]

I am shipping 1 more time before the holiday, then I'm shutting down till after the new year.

Red Flame Sword: - $8 each or 3 for $20
Crinum Calamistratum - $15 each or 5 for $60
Blyxa Aubertii - $3 each or 5 for $12
Cyperus Helferi - $4 each or 5 for $16
Limnophila Indica - $1 per stem or 10 for $8
Banana Plant - $4 each or 6 for $20

Undulata - $2.50 ea or 3 for $7
Spiralis - Potted - $6 ea

Anubias:

Petite - $4 for 5+ leaves

[Slaphppy7]

What would the approximate shipping be for a handful of plants to area code 77619?

What's your cut-off day for shipping?

[Triton]

I ship on saturday.

Best bet would end up being the medium box flat rate - $13

[Slaphppy7]

Thanks Chris...still not sure what to get for the 29G...I think Lauren would like a banana plant...I need something tall, for the left side of the tank, to go next to/behind the tall DW, and help conceal the AC70 pickup and heater a bit

No vals or swords...I'd like something different in this tank

[Boundava]

Try the Aponogeton bulbs...either one-so beautiful and leaves get nice and long. My Aponogeton Longiplumulosus is so tall and full the leaves bend over on the surface like a floating plant. My Gouramis love to hide in it and they pick the algae growing on it. It also has thin leaves that are transparent so it doesn't block out all the light that a floating plant would

[Triton]

I Love my apono bulbs. I have one of the cap bulbs that is 3 connected

[Slaphppy7]

So these are bare bulbs that you plant in the substrate?

I have PFS for substrate, medium lighting, and don't use ferts or CO2...they'd still work?

Do you have a pic of a grown one?

[Triton]

38284

They were bare bulbs lol. Didn't sell right away and my storage method made them grow well lol

[RiversGirl]

Those look very pretty! So, no ferts are required for them and you could plant in PFS?

[Boundava]

Little beauties! My have roots growing all over the place, they are thriving-but I do have CO2 and dose with ferts and have 2 LED lights (med-high) l set up.

[Slaphppy7]

Oh I like those....will I get those, or bare bulbs?...guess it doesn't matter

I will have to wait until Friday, will PM you then for details and payment

[Triton]

They would benefit from root tabs

[Triton]

Those are the ones I currently have too :) so no bare bulbs

[Slaphppy7]

A question about the root tabs...Kevin sent me some once...osmocote in gelatine capsules

I put them in a little plastic container...in a few weeks, the capsules "melted" for some reason...they were stored in a cool, dry closet...now I just have a clump of what once were individual tabs

Are these the same as the ones you sell?

[Triton]

Hmm that's weird. I leave mine in bags and they are fine. If you get them wet they will stick together bad

[Slaphppy7]

Yeah, it was strange...I certainly didn't get them wet

Probably will get some of these from you, too

[Triton]

Ok. Just let me know sir :)

[Slaphppy7]

Hmm, reading about these aponos...seems they are medium-hard to grow, and need bright lighting?

I wonder if the LED I have will be sufficient....white light is 6500K

[Triton]

I've had no issues in my 75

[Boundava]

My led was 7000K (before I got the other one 2 weeks ago) and I had no problems, and my lace has been in there forever with no problems.

[Slaphppy7]

Great, thanks y'all...I'm thinking 2 of the aponos, a banana plant, and some tabs.

[RiversGirl]

Great, thanks y'all...I'm thinking 2 of the aponos, a banana plant, and some tabs.

I'm sure those will look terrific in Lauren's tank!

[Boundava]

yes, and when they get going let us see your handiwork!

[Slaphppy7]

Thanks ladies, will do...you know me and pics/vids, I always have plenty, lol

[Triton]

In a training for work. Sorry for slow responses :)

[Slaphppy7]

No problem, I think I know what I want to get!

[Slaphppy7]

Hey Triton,
Do you have any mad lace?...is it easy to grow?

[Triton]

I have a few bulbs il toss in for you. They haven't shown much signs of life, but maybe in a different tank they'll come back

[showmebutterfly]

His magic water will likely do the trick!

[Slaphppy7]

Thanks!...which of the aponge plants should I get?

[Triton]

I have a few of each. I have one cap plant that is 3 bulbs connected

[Slaphppy7]

"Cap" plant?...what does that mean?

What about java moss?

[Triton]

Apono capuroni :) - no Java moss. Lots of hornwort though lol

[Slaphppy7]

Oh ok....gonna PM you

[Triton]

10-4 sir :)

[Slaphppy7]

Done....gonna stay away from the hornwort, I've heard it's messy :ssmile:

[Triton]

Lol sounds good

[Slaphppy7]

Thanks Chris!...mail them out tomorrow?

[Triton]

Yes. If you don't have them by Tuesday let me know

[Slaphppy7]

I sure will...what do you recommend to dip them in?...I don't have any alum

or do they even need dipping?

[Triton]

Can't hurt to dip. I usually catch most stuff

A peroxide solution is enough to kill any hidden eggs

[Slaphppy7]

Good deal, thanks!

[Triton]

[Compass]

Oh those look nice. Do you have an idea of how big they get? Particularly the Dark Velvet. It looks smaller than the others and I was wondering if you think it stays about that size. Leaf size that is.

[Triton]

The plants are all about full grown (leaf wise). I have "average" size hands lol

[Compass]

Ok cool. Well let me go over my scaping plans and tell the Mrs. that now that I have lights I'm going to drop MORE money on the plants. HAHAHA

Any chance you could acquire some B. catherinae?

[Triton]

I will keep my eye out for it, I will be getting some more in a few weeks too possibly

[Triton]

Just a few of the godzilla left

[Compass]

Just a few of the godzilla left
Oh wow. That is good for you bad for me. Lol Did no realize they would go so quick. You said you were getting some more in a few weeks? I'll be ready then. Got more cash for christmas. Woot woot

Edit: As i read your post again, are saying ALL you have left are a few Godzillas? Or you only have a few godzillas in addition to your other stock of buce?

[Triton]

Awesome! Yea I currently have 2 of the godzilla left.

[Compass]

Awesome! Yea I currently have 2 of the godzilla left.

Lok at,my post again. I edited it.

[Triton]

I still have the others LOL

[Compass]

I still have the others LOL lol ok good. I'm out of town but i might be able to place an order as early as this evening.

[Triton]

Oh ok bud. Just let me know, I have a few orders I'm sending out tomorrow already :)

[Triton]

Just wanted to let you guys know a few of the upcoming stock items :)

-I will have a few more types of buce ready to go in a week or two :)
-I have a bunch of spiderwood available
-handful of anubias still left

[Triton]

If you are on facebook you can follow the link in my sig,

If not I can post the ones I have here, but will fill up like 8 posts lol

[Boundava]

okay, so I really like your piece #26, do you still have that and I am assuming that each square is 1" so the piece is about 10"L, 5"W, 5'H?

[Triton]

the squares are 2"x2" :) so its a bit bigger

I do still have that piece

Oh, and for all the Buce Lovers out there... a preview of what may be available as soon as this weekend...

OMG those names sound so awesome!!! I need to make sure the ones I got will live. I also need to re mortgage the house. Then I'll get more.

[Triton]

LOL. I will have 9 species going soon :)

[hydrophile]

You guys mange me want top set up another tank and just have plants in it =/

[Triton]

Nothing wrong with that :)

[Boundava]

I agree, new plant tank. Plants and shrimp and snails.

Okay-well that piece will be way too big then.
let me take another look at them and I will let you know. I have a large piece of Mopani to the right side (as you view the tank) and wanted something on the left with a little more height. The Mopani is 17" long so it does take up a bit of the tank.

[Boundava]

Okay I think #12 is going to work well in my tank.

[Triton]

PM me your zip and I can get you a shipping quote

[Compass]

For anyone who is thinking of buying plants from Triton please check this link out! I am reviewing my second purchase from him.

[Boundava]

yay!!!!!!!

[abrooks12376]

Got a gnarly piece of dw from triton last week.. what do y'all think??

[Slaphppy7]

I think it's pretty cool....why not add live plants?

[abrooks12376]

I think it's pretty cool....why not add live plants?
Me?? Those are pretty alive;) air plants!

[Slaphppy7]

I see, I thought they looked real, but like nothing aquatic I've seen

So the DW isn't going into the tank?

[abrooks12376]

I see, I thought they looked real, but like nothing aquatic I've seen

Something new to spend money on! Haha.. as for now.. no. I'd like to use this as jump off, more dw and more plants, triton walked me through a simple misting system that would allow emersed growth of desirable plants. I'm thinking of starting with anubias tissue cultures and if that works maybe some buce's.

[Triton]

Dude, looks awesome, didn't know you were on Ac. Lol

[Triton]

Will be posting pics of the new Buce tomorrow :) - stay tuned

[abrooks12376]

Dude, looks awesome, didn't know you were on Ac. Lol
been lurking for months..

[Triton]

Just wanna throw out there, based on a few messages I've gotten on other forums, it's true, my prices may be a bit higher than other sources, but I really try to provide the highest quality and good customer service :)

[Andrews]

How well do plants ship in the cold? I'll need some at some point soon ideally.

[Sandz]

Andrews - Just a mention on how good Triton is... He has shipped me personally over 20 shipments. I have never had a cold related loss EVER in 2+ years of shipping. He uses heat packs when needed, never keeps things packaged for longer than needed and has a system worked out to get your packages there faster than most. This all equals good things for you, the customer. I would trust his shipping even in 0 degree cold outside.

[Triton]

Which it is here currently lol. But only crypts have trouble, thus why I'm not selling any currently

[Triton]

This was yesterday morning, and I still have a safe delivery of plants here :)

[Compass]

^ Gross. lol The buce looks awesome btw! What I got from you is still maintaining. Waiting to see some growth before I get more.

Oh I know, the shrimp I bought from him last spring look so good my LFS buys them off me and regularly funds my trips, just wasn't sure how plants faired.

[Triton]

plants are even easier :)

[hydrophile]

Wait wait, Triton sells shrimp too????!!!! I'll be (impatiently) waiting for that stock list ^_^ (& the tank to b ready... & warmer weather)

[Triton]

**Sold - past tense LOL. John just happened to put a new fish in with them that LOVED shrimp. So his colony got whipped out

[Slaphppy7]

Oooops.....

[Boundava]

expensive meal....

[Andrews]

That's a shame. I've lost two since I bought the 30 from him, good stock of shrimps.

[hydrophile]

so sad =( Well I'm sure the lfs will appreciate the business then. Hopefully they won't end up as a snack.

[Triton]

yea, was probably a few hundred, but not a big deal

[Boundava]

Wondering if you got any pics of the new spiderwood?

[Triton]

only ended up getting half my order in, I will be taking some pics wednesday evening for posting :)

[Boundava]

Sounds good-thanks.

[Triton]

got the new stuff in... god... i will never use plain java fern again :)

[Boundava]

Wow, that is some really nice Java, especially the pteropus tropica and the red pearl...I had to laugh this morning when I looked in my tank because the plants have taken over. No plants for a while. Would love this in a river tank though, very future purchase...

[Triton]

Yea Rob is making the river tank seem like an awesome option

[Boundava]

Oh yes, I am going to be making a 40B river tank in the next year or so and will be getting all of my plants from you, and a nice wood accent piece too.

Speaking of which I saw your new spiderwood and was interested in #1, it looks like 18"Lx10"Hx and 8"W?

[showmebutterfly]

Those are some beautiful plants!

[Triton]

Yea, it's about that size

[Boundava]

How much for it?

[Slaphppy7]

Eleventy-seven dollars.

[Boundava]

Is that Whooville's price? Paid with Seusian money...? Looking for US currency-thanks though.thumbs2:

[Slaphppy7]

LOL, when my daughter was young and learning her numbers, 117 was "eleventy-seven", 118 was "eleventy-eight", etc.....

[Boundava]

Out of the mouth of babes....funny stuff. No children, but have a sister 13 years younger than me-so kinda like a child, got all of her growing moment too, heck still getting them on occasion.

[RiversGirl]

Very pretty plants, Triton! Please excuse the question, as I have lots to learn about aquarium plants yet, but are all 4 of those photos you posted above: Are they ALL different varieties of Java Fern?

[Triton]

nope

The red hadi and horizontalis are echinodorus species, the tropica and philippine are the relatives to java fern

[Nautilus291]

Thanks for the plants! Everything was perfect even through this cold Ohio winter :)

[Triton]

Glad to hear everything made it, I laugh in jack frost's face mwhahahahaha ;)

Actually, too hot is worse than too cold when it comes to shipping

[Triton]

Hey guys, buying the suits for the wedding, so need to get some $$ together... meaning I need to clear out some buce

Shoot me a pm with which ones you'd like

[abrooks12376]

Just recieved my plants, meticulously packaged with insulation and all that fun stuff! Survived the super mega ultra blizzard of 2015 and he even threw in some shrimp crack (actually for the shrimp)

[Triton]

hey guys, I've had a few members asking for some plants lately that I can order, but i have a min order. Just wondering if anyone else would be interested in any of these

Ambulia (limnophila Indica)
Kleiner Bar Sword - Large
Jungle Val


I can do more too, just let me know if there is anything particular you are looking for

[fishmommie]

Put me down for some Jungle Val and Large KBS. If I thought I could grow the Ambulia, I'd like some of that too.

This is gonna be an AC thing ONLY. By me placing 1 large order I can save a bit and reduce prices

[Triton]

anything else anyone is looking for?

[Slaphppy7]

Miniature aquatic palm trees for a 10G (?) :14:

[Triton]

I actually have an idea... using cholla wood cut into 3" sections, and like anubias congensis or minima

Thoughts?

[Slaphppy7]

Oooh...that might be cool....it's for the wife's betta tank, I'll have to run that by her...thanks!

I've already got cholla I bought from you, would just need the plants..haven't tried anubias yet, but been wanting to

[Boundava]

neat idea....

[fishmommie]

I don't want a mini palm tree but you're suggestion gave me a thought. Use Cholla wood as the base for anubias. Just tuck the roots into the holes in the wood = instant planter.

Now you're going to tell me that you already do that, right?

[darkmerlin21]

[Slaphppy7]

I SO wanted to in Lauren's tank, but she doesn't like planted wood pieces, for some reason

I've got 2 pieces of cholla in the 40B, but Lord knows I don't need any more plants in there

Yes, great idea but I just spent some of Saturday gluing the remainder of my Anubias to the background while I was doing a WC. Sticking it in the cholla would have been neat too. Like Matt, I don't need any more plants in the tanks...by the way the 2 ulvaceus or crispus you sent me both flowered and both pollinated and now I have itty bitty aponogeton growing on my substrate, about 4 of them.

I SO wanted to in Lauren's tank, but she doesn't like planted wood pieces, for some reason

I think FM was suggesting this as a solution to the Palm tree for the 10g. If you stood the cholla wood on end and secured the anubia to the top, it may look like a cute little palm.

Yes, I was replying to her, but thought she meant with them laying on their side...upright will be what I suggest to Mrs. Slap

yea, i think upright would be the route for the tree

As for FM, yea I've tied off anubias to lava rock and cholla :)

Texted Mrs. Slap the idea...she likes it!

Chris, do you have pics of the different anubias?...maybe someone here with mad Photoshop skills could get us a pic of what it would look like atop a pice of cholla

Here are a few:
