Aqua Essentials, you can't go wrong buying on-line, most Maiden Head Aquatics carry a good range though.

Most of our lfs are a bit pap really when it comes to plants. I was in Tong this morning, bad condition plants. Qss yesterday, theirs weren't great either. Pets at home in Bradford can have good ones, if they've just had a delivery of Tropica pots, but it's hit and miss as to whether they're what you want.

Honestly, buying online is your best bet. Go for potted rather than bunches, and research before you buy. I buy the vast majority of mine online.

http/www.plantsalive.co.uk/ << for online buying iv used them twice... was here in very good condition within a week... i don't think iv unintentionally lost a plant from them. you should just buy online if you know what you want IMO
