hello i have a few questions. first off were is a good place to buy all plants? ibeen buying from local fish store but baught everything nice owner is not big on buying plants to sell but yet his personal tanks are loaded with plants. i was looking on ebay every place seems like there from china or asia or something and from what i been hearing is bad news takes 2 weeks to get plants and half the time they die and sellers will not refund or replace money. so i was curios if there were any forums were people are actually honost and helpful and sell plants that wont rip you off.

next up:

i have a pleco i have banana plants and amazon swords both destroyed. and the only plants i found so far that do half decent are java ferns but they all died quick unless they were a big bunch.

alspo if i get more javas how do u make them into mats? if its to hard then u dont need to go into detail just say its not worth it or hard or something.

thanks for any help, tj i also use co2 and liquid fertilizers once a week
 
hi i use these http://www.java-plants.com/ there very good and replace anything your not happy with very quickly all though in all the times i have used them i have only had to get 1 plant replaced

i have plecs in with my plants and they never eat them what do you feed your plec ?
 
to be honost im not positive its th epleco but from the reading i did it sounded liek it was. some plants leaves were eating others got holes. i HAVE 1 PLECO 3 PARROTS 3 tiger barbs and a lot of rainbows. i just started feeding the pleco algea waffers 3 days ago.
 
is it a BN plec or a different type it is the plec thats eating them i had the same thing with a young BN it looked like what slugs do to garden plants just put in some blanched zuccini that should slow it down normally they eat plants when theres not enough other food available
 
i dont no its brown with some black kind markings on it when i got it from fish store it just said it was a pleco
