Has Anybody Ever Ordered Crypts Through Ebay From Malaysia

I've been looking at it but am a little worried about the delivery times and conditions.

As tempting as they are, I personally wouldn't. Anything from the Far East can take seven to ten days to arrive and, if you look at the feedback, you will see that a lot of plants arrive in very poor shape. If they are shipping to the USA, its a lot quicker so the plants have a better chance.
Try an online company here in the UK like Java Plants or Green Machine. They might cost more but you're guaranteed to get live plants at the end of it and not a rotted mess.

Hmm, thats what i was thnking. I tried to imagine the mess they would turn up in and it wan't pretty

Considering how sensitive crypts are, I would be cautious purchasing them online. With crypts, it will be an almost certainty that they will arrive with crypt rot and will need time to recover. Personally, I would buy from a more local seller or even your LFS.

what crypt you interested in?

Not too sure if i'm honest. They all look kinda nice, well the ones i've seen on eBay any way. I'm really just trying to find some middle living plants for my tank that will cope with a pair of T8's, pressurised squirty can CO2 and my poor maintainence

Look for someone in the UK who stocks Tropica or aquafleur. Those malaysian ones are selling stalks. The potted ones are not single plants. They are pots of loads which you then seperate.

For midground (under 8 inches) I woudl suggest Wendtii species and Willissi/Lucens.

I have some Spiralis for sale at the mo however they are 2ft and can get to nearly 3ft tall. lol
