having trouble finding plants... local

[tetra]

Trying to find some dwarf onion plant and dwarf water lettuce. The name brand pet stores are not a really good source for plants and wont order in plants. And the two private owned lfs wont order plants in till the spring.

Is there an aquarium club somewhere nearby? I've purchased beautiful plants from them...big and cheap (compared to pet store prices and quality)

[tetra]

Nope. One of the lfs says if i can through in a big enough order or get some other people who are intrested he would order some in.

Try Kijiji:

I already got an add lol. I Realy wanted to have my tank planted by xmas, the few i got now wont be enough to cover my 60 gallon.

No responses to your ad? :ssuprised: I KNOW there are fishkeepers with planted tanks in Newfoundland...LOL, maybe they don't use Kijiji...:hmm3grin2orange:

You could try posting ads at the various pet stores...maybe someone will notice them there...

i had my add up on nlclassifieds instead of kjii, I get to many people trying to scam me on that site. I actualy put my add up 2 days before i posted here. Not one email or phone call. The local lfs that will order plants only if i can get a big enough order and wants 12.99 a plant. The other lfs has some plants in stock but everything in the low light range is sold out and are about 4.99 a plant. They wont bring anything in till the spring.

Kudos for trying! I'm all out of suggestions though (useful or otherwise...:hmm3grin2orange: )...

May the plant-force be with you...:14:

What about aquabid? Lots of plants listed on there. Lots that ship to Canada too.
