So I redid my tank after the fish TB incident, bleached all the plants, and bought a bunch of new ones. Unfortunately, the seller sent me a TON of plants, way more than I needed, so I'm offering a bunch of plants for only shipping. None of it is in "show" condition, but it's green and healthy. All plants will probably have a little algae on it, and they WILL have snails, so if you don't want to introduce them to your tank, do a potassium permanganate dip.

1 medium amazon sword (black spot algae)
1 small amazon sword
handful of glossostigma elatinoides (requires med-high lighting)
small bunch of marsilia sp. (my foreground plant)
few med-small stems of Ludwigia sp - (see background plant in my picture)
few large stems of Ludwigia Repens (green)
handful of water wisteria
1 stem of blyxa japonica
1 rhizome of anubias nana (has some black spot algae on it)
handful of hemianthus micranthemoides

Everything's ready to go in ziploc bags wrapped in paper towels. I'm probably going to ship to 1 person, as it probably isn't worth paying shiping for only a few plants. USPS Priority mail flate-rate shipping is $8.10, so I ask that you pay 9 to cover paypal fees too. Lemme know. Need to ship soon as plants don't keep well in bags.

Lemme know if this should go in classifieds. I figured since I'm not making anything off of it (spent 27 bucks on the order lol) I could post it here.

Er my mistake. Shipping should be 5 bucks....I think. The USPS site has conflicting information...lol. If someone wants to help me out with it....

EDIT: Ah, was looking at the flat rate box. I believe, based on the weight, shipping will be 5-6 bucks.

Plants are free, just pay shipping (~ 5 bucks) I don't know how shipping works with Canada. You'll have to find out and let me know, lol.

It's too bad that I'm writing this post form the airport on my way out of town otherwise I would have been more than willing to take those plants off your hands.

Hopefully you and Demonshark can work something out. If their still around next Wednesday drop me a PM and I'll be more than happy to take them off your hands, I'll even throw in a little extra for your trouble.

Demon - pm'd

Hungryhound - hehe, sorry to hear that. I will keep you in mind next time I do a big trim. The glosso, marsilea, wisteria, and ludwigias will probably be ready for trimming in 2 weeks. Still trying to get things sorted out as I recycled the tank and everything.

Yeah, I don't want to get nailed for shipping species of plants on the invasive weeds list across borders, lol.
