Hi.

Im new to plants an i want to try it. i have a 10gal set up from walmart. i already have 2 melon swords an 2 other odd plants i got that have really long plants that came in a seed package from walmart... i have a breeding pair of otos a pair of albino corys an 1 male betta. an i was wondering what kinda plants i should get an where i should buy them. links to a site that sells or is about the plant would be great.

well i jus looked up the 2 plants i didnt know about an they are Aponogeton ulvaceus ... not sure if thats a common name or a scienific name. help with a common name(if that isnt it) would be nice.

I've heard good things about aquariumplants.com, but it costs alot to get them delivered. Instead of buying online or at Wal-Mart, have you checked out any local fish stores? I'm sure they'd really appreciate your business more than Wal-Mart would and also would give you more precise and accurate information on what you're looking for.

There are many types of Aponogetons in the package. I must have thrown it away accidentally but there's a good variety in there along with some tiger lotus bulbs which are fabulous.
