Plants

[Losi]

Went to my LFS today to get some plants for my new community setup. I haven't had a tank for about a year and so forgive me if I missed something............they wanted £4.50 each for plants!

Not particularly rare plants, Anubius, Java Fern etc.

Have I missed something or does this seem a bit expensive???

Seems pretty overpriced to me...but I'm not sure what plant prices average in the UK. I'd expect to pay maybe $3.50 - $8 for a small bunch or 3-4 medium sized plants depending on what they were.

thats what I thought!

Anyone from the UK think this is dear?

3.00 pound or 3.50 once 5.00 quite rare

Not tried them myself but my son reckons java-plants.com is a good site for aquarium plants resonably priced and arrive in good condition.

very expensive

Have to agree, very high prices. Take a look at Greenline (online shop) Good prices and from what I've heard, good quality.

I am sure that the last time I got live plants they were about £3!

I was going to ask why they were charging so much but the had the normal 14 year olds who haven't got a clue about things (no offence meant to any 14 year olds that keep fish but I dont think that these guys could tell a neon tetra from an Oscar) !

It depends, were they Tropica plants?. If they were, they're worth every penny.
