Good Deal!?

[chrisrm]

does anyone think this is a good deal?

No, there are quite a few non-aquatic plants there and its not a 'buy it now' item so if people start bidding, the price will creep up.

ok what about some of the other sellers offering groups of plants on ebay?

it seems a cheeper way than going to a lfs and buying eg

seems a bit of a minefield!!!

I agree online is cheaper, but these 'groups' are a terrible terrible buy. More often than not out of say... 5 groups you end up with 2 that are non aquatics and one that is high light so 3 groups die and you're left with something cheap and common like cabomba and water wisteria or similar. So you end up paying say £6 for £2 worth of plants. A definite false economy.

I suggest wandering over into the planted section and asking for some ideas of plants to use in your tank. Also there is a pinned topic in the planted section with reviews of plant selling websites.

MA have some good deals on potted plants like 5 for £10 and even better deals for bunched plants...
Anyway this looks like a better deal
