Buying Plants From Abroad From Ebay

[pablothebetta]

Found some plants on eBay that I'm struggling to find elsewhere, but they're from Malaysia. My concerns are that a) some form of fertilizer/pesticide might have been used which could harm my shrimp and b) they might not arrive in good condition due to shipping. Shipping says 5-9 days - is this too much for the plants?

Any tips/advice? Anyone done something similar themselves?

Thanks

Both of your concerns are a definite possibility. At least you're aware of the risks, so it's up to you about whether sourcing these plants is worth the hassle of coaxing them back to health and quarantining them.
