  •  Subwassertang


  • 1x1" of HC.


  • 3x3" of Hairgrass


  • Plethora of Floating Plants (water salvinia, water lettuce, asian water moss, (Possibly Red Root floater), etc.


  • fissidens fontanus (tiny portion *sorry these are hard to grow hahaha*)


  • (Pretty much worth it if you can pick it up, I make it worth your while if you save me the hassle LOL).


  • Water Wisteria (I hope I spelled that right)




I thought someone would jump on this really fast.... XD I mean... 1x1 HC Patch >_> And some Dwarf Hairgrass :|

As teaser as to what I will be offering, I'll say my densely planted 10g is over due for a good thinning, this should be an healthy offering. :) I should have details and pics this weekend.

I see how it works. I'm gonna lurk a while until I get a sense of rythym.

It's explained in the thread about shipping and stuff. Someone will offer plants, anyone can accept the plants, then whomever excepts must Pay it Forward by offering free plants & free shipping. I hope you jump in :bounce:

I have used up a lot of what I would trade lately in order to acquire some fish. Monosolenium, Crypt. wendtii 'Bronze', and Java fern are what I usually can trade. I have Willow Moss (looks like Java but grows slower and is darker) and Java Moss (just dumped a cup full) too but most folks, except shrimp folks, don't want it. I have to wait a little while for plants to grow back. However, I am watching this now.

I am in the same boat, I have ferns that have holes in them from trading...lol! But got some good stuff, and thinning things out promotes healthy growth.

OK, I did some good trimming today and have a healthy offer.  I'm not great with all the names so here are some photos.  Also included but not photographed are some java fern and a tiny bit of java moss.  These are obviously no longer in the tank but they are in tank water.  Claim quick so I can ship quick.  Or, come pick them up.  PM ASAP.

My experience with the lilly things has been that they will root as trimmings, but it takes a good while.  Everything else I tried to make sure has some roots on it if I could. Also, we have been told the cabomba is "Purple Cabomba" and supposedly legal in WA which is why it's on here and still for sale at the retailer I acquired it from.

I would take them but I don't have much to plant forward. Just some small Cryptcocoryme wendtii "Bronze", some beat up Java Fern (pleco munchies but it is a large leave plant [up to 15 inches]), and some Monosolenium tenerum (is a liverwort like Subwassertang). I also have some Willow Moss (like Java but grows slower and is a lttle darker).

I'm in North Seattle. Which day this weekend?
Or PM me for a ship.

Phones are funny that way. I have the idiot cousin of the Blackberry. It can't load most websites anymore because it doesn't have enough memory. I need to enter the two-thousand teens.

It's away! This is a pretty sweet deal for anyone who wants to get into plants on the cheap. Jump in if you've been considering giving it a go! I'm sure Tom will have some fun stuff for the next lucky contestant.

I don't have much but I got such a good selection from anderson_p_r I had to repost and amend what I can send to the next person. They are below;

1 java fern,
1 or 2 small java fern starts of the giant, 15+ inch leaf plant,
a dollop of Monosolenium tenerum (A liverwort like Subwassertang but slightly smaller and 'leaves' aren't as round.),
some mixed Willow Moss and Java Moss (Willow Moss is darker and grows slower than java moss but it is hard to tell them apart anymore.),
some small starts with good rhizomes of Cryptocoryme Wendti 'Bronze',
a sprig of Wisteria (Hygrophila difformis),
a sprig or two of Elodea,
a sprig of guppy grass (Najas guadalupensis) ,
a sprig of Bacopa caroliniana,
and some floaty things if you want them.

These are mostly basically starter plants but are doing a fine job as nitrogen sinks.
